(Weird) Winter Moments 2019

[DukesDucks]

Record snowfall here last week. Ontario. I could hardly stop laughing watching my young Muscovy ducks experience the snow for the first time. Took a few face-plants and somersaults for them to realize that snow is not as solid as it looks.

We don't have ducks anymore but this was when we had 'The Beast From The East'

Aren’t they pretty! What happened to them?

Indeed they are!

The little brown female call duck went broody under thick brambles and Mr Fox got her, the white also went missing but under strange circumstances.

We have suspicions that what caught and ate her was most likely human rather than your typical predator...

We had about 15 ducks of different breeds but they made the woodland so clogged and mucky and it literally turned into a death trap as it was that slippy.

No one except from me in our house ate duck eggs so we were getting loads and they were going to waste often.

They all got new homes though

My favourite duck was Pistachio, one of my little call duck females.

She is precious!!

I also had a Pea Riot in the brooder.

Their parents did the same this evening. Spoiled.
