Get it? Vent? Ok. I'm totally out of control... Mad Hatter out.

Don't say that!!! You aren't at all!!! Please vent! Vent! Vent!!! I wish there was something more we could do than just be here for you!

You're not being a downer...It's just your turn to need a shoulder and we love ya and care!

What the ladies said. You didn't know. They are a completely different sort of creature from anything you have ever dealt with before. They'll climb right up the wire of their enclosure like a squirrel.

Thanks.



Sorry, I'll try to stop being a downer.

WV hope old were these ducks and how long did their last owner have them?
They are wild ducks with a strong urge to do what wild ducks do...... People up here will let their Mallards migrate...... They come back.
I have a feeling this ducks will end up back where they started from eventually.
Other than that I'm sorry for your sadness.... But I think the ducks will be fine......

Keeping it chicken literal. I especially like how the hen in the pic is looking back over her shoulder like, "What are ya'll lookin' at back there?"

Yep, I watched one do exactly that. straight thru a hole i didn't realize was there. I feel bad because i should have put them in something more secure, but biosecurity and all, I didn't have a pen available, just the bachelor pen. I was not well prepared, so that's my fault, and i feel terrible about that.

Pretty cool thing though, after one of the teals landed in the yard, I was slowly, cautiously trying to herd it into an open chicken pen. It knew what was happening, looked up, flew straight up in the air, probably 20 feet, made a 90 degree turn, and flew out one way, reversed, flew over my house, around the front, then back around the garages, and over my building again before i lost sight of it. Hubby was out by his garage, and came running. He thought it was the drake that had gotten out last night.

All I know to say is I'm really sorry...

Thanks. I really do appreciate the support. I can't stop thinking about them, but I will eventually get over it. I guess.
