The gross truth about ducks...

[clarkai]

After "getting it on" the drakes will run around with their...reproductive organ hanging out.

HA! I LOVE this thread!!

When I hose all the poop off the stall mats in their pen........where do they run? To go gobble up all the yummy poop I am hosing off!

Scoop........seriously, what everyone says is true............they are the BEST! Their entertainment value far outweighs their grossness, and their sometimes strange and sometimes cruel sexual behavior. It's been a real eye opener for me.......I just never knew what they were really like, but I wish I had gotten them years ago. I can't get enough of them!!

They will ignore the beautiful nesting boxes you labored to provide and lay eggs helter-skelter all over the place.

For whatever reason, my gals love laying eggs around the pond's bio-filter. Maybe it's the hum?

Well first let me say that ...Wifezilla I understand completely...I have 1 out of 11 ducks that uses their custom made brick steps...the other 10 flap, flop and hurl themselves over the side. What is up with that?


Please add this to your list...


Ducks will unhook hook and eye types of latches, bungee cords and other light locking mechanisms

Ducks will squeeze out of a seemingly impossible opening just to run amuck

16. Ducks are seemingly double jointed, when chasing a duck it will turn around in it's own skin like a ninja and run the opposite direction. You will be so focused on trying to process how the duck, the slowest thing next to mail, had just given you the slip, that you will not see the apple tree right in front of you.
17. Algea grows on their bills! Only ducks and sloths have this plant growing on them!
18. They eat slugs! Which is gross but great if you have a slug problem.

19. Ducks allow a mother to answer a whole new spectrum of questions from a curious 5 year old. Like " why is that worm stuck to the boy ducky?" and "does your poop smell like a ducks or like a chickens or like a dogs?"

20. How i've had to get a hair catch for my tub, but instead of catching hair, it catches poop too fiberous to um, be eaten or picked at enough to go through.
21. How there's always a layer of slime on the edge of their pen (on their second floor), a mix of water and poop that i always seem to get my arm in.
22. Everytime i let them walk themselves to the tub, they both have ti poop on my floor
23. i go into my ducks room every morning to say hello and give them a hug. when the food bowl goes empty sometime during the night, and i go to give victor a hug he has a ring of poop around his bill.
24. how they insist on diggng all the dirt out of the cracks between sidewalks/concrete/patios.
25. when they get colds, ducky snot runs out their nostrils...

This thread has been the funiest I've read so far...lol

26. Telling the kids not to sit in the lawn because the ducks are out and the poo blends in w/ the grass...only to see when they get up it's on the seat of their jeans, the knees..and the palms...
