The Duck Thread

400

Last night, 4 ducklings. This morning there are 3 more with 8 pips. All of my duck eggs have pipped that went to lockdown.
They are so adorable. Glad all went well with your hatch:)
 
@WVduckchick &
@Juliebird Thanks! I just love them to pieces!

Well, Diva fit his personality. He's kind of prissy for a duck. Sits down and grazes when the other 3 are walking around foraging. More demanding at treat time. A bit friendlier and more cooperative than the others. If any of the others had hurt their bill, it would have been a fiasco trying to rinse/clean & Neo them.

I do like Bill, Max and Zeus so far.

You're welcome Debs. I can see why you would love them. I love seeing them and hearing about their behaviors. Especially "Diva". How funny that he acts like that. Sounds like a sweetie pie. Now, remind me which one is Dorie. I keep thinking back to an earlier post of yours where you said something to the effect, "Dorie ate a couple worms today and the others tried to take one away…." It just cracks me up. I really like that name.

During my catch up on here Debs, I noticed the names of your webbed kiddos at the bottom of one of your posts. Dorie is one of your girl Rouens.

Awwww they are adorable. They just have this face .. Says look at me! I'm so adorbs!

I don't have ducks yet, they arrive next week. I'm so flipping excited!!! I'm constantly looking at pictures here on muscovy's and Pekins!!

But with my chickens (I'm a new flock mommie this summer !!) I went with characters I know for most of them to fit
Their personalities. My little rooster dude is 'The Fonz' but I call him Fonzie. Two of my older girls are Laverne & Shirley. One is Miss Molly. I have 'chicken little' for the littest one of the younger group. I have 16 pullets and 1 cockerel. Eventually I'll get them all named.
Wow SandyM. You have some major experience with birds. I am impressed. I love the names too. I am from that era for sure from which the names originated. I thinks it's so cute you're so excited about the arrival of your new ducks. Please post pics of them. And you get it about the faces. Thank you!! I do too.
 
I'm gonna try everything that everyone said. I hope something works. I'm on my way to tractor supply to but jojo and charlie a pet gazebo for the garden I Ade today. I'm exhausted!!! Spoiled little kids, and jojo finally has a drake curl!! Yay!
I hope whatever you get works for him. I see the stuff people recommend and it is interesting. I would never have a clue what to get. Thank goodness for BYC. A gazebo for them is gonna be a hoot. And JoJo's drake feather coming in is a cool milestone. Yes, yay for him.
