The Quack Shack

[WannaBeHillBilly]

How are all our quack shack friends?

Busy shoveling snow, hauling out buckets with hot water, busting ice-sheets,…
Just found out that the sillcock that i use for the ducks has frozen again and is leaking water from the valve.

Cold! lol

Weather is going through menopause. It's warm, it's cold, it's warm, it's cold. Warm being relative. And I'm out shovelling every other day.

Ducks are getting annoyed with it, I can tell! They come running out in the morning only to turn tail and said F that, I'm going back to bed! That's mostly the scovies though. The Quackers are insane. Jumping in the tub of fresh water first thing. Or even bathing in the horrible white stuff.

Finally we go a good soaking last night and most of the white fungus has been washed into the ponds, creeks and rivers.
Everything else has turned into mud in which the ducks are eagerly drilling for fossil fuel.
Two days ago the garden hose thawed and i was able to fill up their kiddie pool - five times in one day because of their insane bath rituals, like stacking pool-noodles to four levels…

My Wood Ducks arrived yesterday morning and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! They get along with all of my other ducks just fine so I am totally Blessed. They are skittish around me which I expected but totally at home with all of the others. There was no phone number on the box so I am very fortunate that I had made a personal visit to our post office to give them instructions on who would come and get them and the phone number.

Pictures, Videos?
