The Duck Report by Evadig

Here’s some more pictures of the completed run (sorry the quality is not the best):
The tarp was temporarily thrown on due to the big storm that passed through. And the chairs will be replaced by a real perch, and the middle row of chickens will be getting their house…

It’s been five weeks, but it seems like I’ve had them forever. The quackers are now mature enough to be herded (instead of carried) from their run to their little pen about twenty feet away. They also got some supervised free ranging time during which George the Embden Gander decided to assert his dominance. He was in for a rude awakening…Henry, the little bitty drake, bit him! George took off running and didn’t bother the ducks again.

Those babies can be assertive when in a group. lol Poor George the Gander

@Miss Lydia do you think Henry (the Saxony) could be a female? He shows no signs of getting a green head…I mean I just was watching them in the pool and the thought struck me he looks singularly like the female Saxony on the Meyer Hatchery website.

A more recent picture but kind of blurry…

Henry does look like the female but then again what age is Henry maybe too young yet to be having the green head feathers?
