Oh my, has anyone else ever had a pekin duck jump hurdles? I had a two foot board up over the bottom of the entrance of my run to keep my new goslings and my WH drake in until the goslings were settled and the drake was done trying to join the neighbor's flock, and still allow the chickens out. The pekin of course couldn't get over it either - until I caught her in the yard the other day. I was concerned she wouldn't be able to get back to her nest, so I carefully herded her back in, moving the board to get her in and then reblocking the run.

I went inside and five minutes later she was in the yard again! I didn't know how she did it, so I went out to round her up again and find her escape point. As I was herding her back towards the run, before I could move the board, she jumped, landed on top of it briefly, and then jumped back into the run! The darn board was twice her height! So apparently I have an Olympic hurdler candidate in my coop.

Not a Peke, but my lil' call duck hen is known for jumping vertically up and out of her 2-foot high crate where she sleeps at night! Now I'm convinced I should try and teach them to jump through hoops and hurdles, that'd be one heck of a good act to take on the road

Good morning from the desert, part of the flock getting their morning treat. They stopped to pose for a photo first. All of these are Muscovy's, the two on the bottom are black, on the top left is a black barred, on the right is the chocolate bronze.

Hope everyone is starting their week off great!

They are so pretty! I love each one.

She's probably starting to fly. Isn't she about four months old now? I have some that are flying now at around 2.5 months.
