Hard weekend, everybody?

The weekend was fine, but this morning made up for it. Two Ducklings in the house decided to make a pond. They knocked over their water container that I had on a container to keep shavings out of it and I woke up to over 2 gallons of water on my hardwood floor. I thought about having duck nuggets for supper tonight but then knew it was my fault for putting it on something they could knock it off of. It worked well for 3 weeks though. The one has just gotten so big but the other one is still little and it will be in the 40's here at night this week a few nights so I can't move them out yet. Hubby had sneezed and woke me up at 3:30 am instead of my usual 3:45am which was good but I forgot to turn off my alarm. While I was cleaning the floor up he tried to shut it off in his sleep and it went somewhere under the bed still going off so I got to go on a hunt for that next to shut it off. I put the ducklings outside for part of the day in a safe enclosure and will move them out this weekend. I wouldn't dare separate them because they cry for each other when I do move them one at a time. I'm very lucky to still have a happy home right now and glad I have not been moved out into the duck pen, lol.

Somebody must have had an affair with one of the wild Mallard Drakes:

This beautiful young drake has the eye-stripe and the typical Mallard pattern on his chest.
What do you think?

I agree Frank, you don't have any Rouen ducks do you?

i’m just angry with my 3 chickens. it’s easy to herd all the ducks into their house, but the chickens are very naughty buttpains and refuse to go in to their coop . i told them “fine, get soaked in the thunderstorm, i will come back out and lock your door later if you make it inside!

Yes, rough weekend. More rain and cold!

At least it's not snowing!!!

i just want to share this because it’s so weird. i decided to take out the cage from the duck house that i was using for the 2 newest lings to integrate . i expected to hear a lot of quackery when they went in, but there was just this dead silence. and it stayed silent as it got darker ( i stayed outside to listen) and they are still quiet . it’s just so weird.
