It kinda looks like water crest

Growing in the river, likely it is cress of some sort.

Hes doing better. Would be even more better if we could get him to swallow the pills

I'm doing better. I miss her soo much. And i am hurting for jojo. He physically doing good except he wont eat his feed but, hrs getting a little mean sometimes, i was told hes angry and hurt from losing his mate. I know he cant decide if he wants human loving or to be left alone. Its so sad. The more i think about it i truly believe the best option is becoming a house duck and not to get any girlfriends for awhile. Him and Charlie were a bonded pair. He's not ready yet. I'll be there as much as I can. He's strong, I think he'll survive, its just gonna take quite awhile. Thanks for asking!

I was thinking duckweed, but does look like crest of some sort.

They typically start laying between 20-24 weeks, depending when they were hatched. Some of yours will probably start laying in late summer or early fall, but you don't need to be concerned if some don't lay until next year.

I'm glad you're doing better, and I'm also very happy to hear there are no signs of physical illness with JoJo. Is he still spending all his time hanging out in front of the mirror?

Anyone know what this is? I found it growing in the river nearby.

I agree that it looks like watercress, but of course not something you'd want to eat if you got it out of a river.

Hi GUys,
With no responses I'm guessing I posted on the wrong thread or didn't follow protocol or? Anyway can someone tell me where I could go to get a few answers?
