guess he shoulda kept it in his pants lol
jk

I know right!? He says he must have gotten it haulin hay. Whatevs!

QJ and Iain your SA ducks are all from the same bloodlines. (incase you didn't know this)
CG sorry about the duckling.
Iain as far as breeding pens, the more space the happier they are. Ducks will trample any space they are gone into nothing but mud though. Using landscape edging and filling it with smooth rock to set the baby pools on will lessen the mud pit around the pool. Same for your geese, except they will over graze an area and need a new space.
Housing for geese is reccomended at 4' high and length depends on pairs or trios. You can get away with 2.5-3' high for ducks. Just remember ventalation is very important, and secure doors/windows to keep out predators.

OH I've got big plans for you girl. BIG plans. I have to reload my computer to respond to the PM I just saw from you.

the only one not scared of her is my 2 yr old daughter she wants to hold one of the babies so bad! she comes crying to me atleast once a day "mama nitni bite meeee! i hold baby nitniiii sob sob" but then goes right back an hour later a tries it (insert eye roll)

gotta love the determination of kids
