Who's to say all ducks aren't crazy?

Oh great, and I just ordered a pair of female Cayuga ducklings. They will arrive next Thursday. Please Lord, don't let them be insane like the cresteds, I couldn't take it!

I hate to tell you this, but crested ducks are known to have some neurological problems......

I guess your month-long hiatus was only a verbal agreement...nothing you actually planned on doing in the first place. Nice! Did Ebony go broody, or are you hoping that she'll care for them anyway?

I really wish it would rain. The humidity in the air here is killing me! The humidity is causing me to rain just doing normal everyday chores!

Sure, they're prone to seizures and other neurological problems...but nothing in the texts suggest they are certifiably insane as well.

Same here. Luckily, there isn't much I need to do outdoors...today.

I now know the crest is a skull deformity. After finding out details I was never going to allow them to hatch their own eggs. But I have 1 black crested and 3 whites. Plus a white Pekin drake. All the white ducks are racist! So I was going to get Ebony some black companions, aka the Cayugas. But now, Howard the drake is on thin ice, he tried to drown Ebony yesterday and has been chasing her off food. If he continues this behavior he either gets rehomed or becomes dinner! Crazy duck.

I had a Cayuga drake that was an extra thrown in with my first order of Welsh Harlequins, and I just loved him. He was so calm and laid back. If you don't want to breed them, eat Howard and just keep girls. A couple of Cayuga ducks would be good friends for Ebony, and most likely bigger than she is and able to gang up on the white ducks!
