Ducks are incredibly happy creatures. I find them very personable and enjoy having them even though they're completely disgusting.
I did not like geese.


Ducks at the new locale. I was only able to get the 3 herded into the enclosure, then into the house. Then the other two finally went into the enclosure, then all into the house. They will be there until tomorrow morning.

This is the pile of muck left over after moving the duck house and fence. It's legitimately 6 inches of cesspool. And the entire time we were moving the fence and duck house, they were in it, playing with it. Uggh.

I actually liked the geese. They ate almost 100% grass. least expensive critters I have ever had.

They were ready to eat by fall... so no wintering them over.

Mine were like that dinosaur in the first Jurassic Park that killed Dennis... they got scared of me and regurgitated their food at me. I suspect they would have eaten me as well if they could.

I have read about guard geese--UPS delivery people were scared of them! I wonder if it was because of the puke? Do all geese do that?

I did the same with Muscovy ducks in Florida. They would come and poop all over the front yard and sidewalk . My Papillon, Jenny, had a passion for chasing them. They learned to avoid our house.

Ducks are cute babies! Plus they grow really fast if you want meat. They lay big eggs that are good for baking.
