A day or two ago I posted a series of pix with my roo Elvis and my hen MinnieMe "kissing" Well, Elvis has taken a shine to my duck Peep who just raised a bunch of ducklings, and is laying eggs again. I dont have a drake. (We bought fertilized eggs for her last brood)
He mounts her, holding her head feathers in his beak.
He goes through all the "motions" but of course has severe anitomical limitations. . If he continues this behavior, I'll try to get some more pictures.
Elvis is also known as Satan. He attacks anything not possessing feathers.
Peep and family earlier this spring
Elvis lusting after the neighbors hens. He used to fly over the gate to catch a "quickie" but I think he got beat up one time too many by the neighbor's rooster who is at least 5 times as big, and fortunately can't fly
