What in Ducky Heck is this!?

[DuckyDoodles]

I want to hug and snuggle them. If you ever need a baby ducky sitter, I’m your girl. And yes, indeed, she loves her fuzzy! I take it you keep her inside with you most of the time? She seems to peg leg it quite well.

And you clipped the flight feathers on all those birds? Lots of birds. (Loved them tracking the deer... it’s like it was a gang of them shooing the deer away from their tasty grasses). When you do it, do you do both sides or just one? I saw there’s differing approaches.

Peg is inside at night, but goes outside in the yard with the flock during the day... she insists on her ducky time and does quite well for herself...

The ducks will stalk anything that gets near their yard, very territorial, lol... they have stalked deer, neighbors cat and even a turkey vulture once... they're small, but very intimidating when they converge en masse!

I don't clip them anymore, they learned not to fly down into the valley... there is/was a mated pair of hawks living there and have lost one to them before... if the juveniles get out of hand flying, I clip... or if I sell adults to someone, I clip if they want it...

I prefer to clip both sides... with one side, they will do predictable circles... imo, not good for them if they have to try escaping a predator...

Well. I managed to swipe at her wound a little bit... likely more feather than wound though. She had a POOP ton to say about it and was giving ZERO cooperation. So after scratches on top of my hand and a subsequent black liquidy shyte right on my carpet... I called it quits until hubs can help me.

Anyone know the best way to get this out with minimal residual staining? All of the other billion poops they’d done on the floors (in their fleeting visits in the house) were smaller, more wasabi texture and green. I could pick up the thick parts then peroxide the carpet.

I think that poop is staining the middle earth right now.

So I’m gonna go smoke and sit on my front porch swing and think about butterflies or some happy horse.... turds.

It’s not about the carpet; it’s about just how damned feisty they can be when you totally don’t need them to be.

Like my kid who I said I would to school for the deaf so maybe, if nobody answered her 90million mommies, she’d stop saying it.

Rough morning. Up 24 hours and counting.

Maybe I’ll smoke 2 cigarettes.

Lol, well, my carpet cleaning suggestion is shaving cream. We have light cream colored carpet and a friend spilled her glass of red wine on it... Someone else at the house knew exactly what to do. You get as much of the liquid out as possible, then take shaving cream and work it into the carpet and then scrub it back up with a towel. Repeat a few times if needed, but you end up with clean and mostly dry carpet.

Does anyone else’s duck fight HARDER when wrapped in a towel? I know there’s been suggestion to wrap her in a towel to minimize her fighting but she, I think, gets even more buck wild.

Anyone?

Do you drop a loose hand towel over her head? Covering the eyes might help...

I use a regular bath towel and wrap it around her everything BUT the head. I’ve previously tried putting it on her head and she bronco bucked it off so that’s when I tried the everything else method.

Some people when they are caponizing cockerels will put a baby sock over the bird's head, they can't toss it off but they can still breathe... She's bigger, so maybe a normal sock?

if you didn't get The stain out already look for this stuff at Wal-Mart or dollar general. I swear it's the best I've ever used. I have a cat that frequently pukes orange cat food on carpet
Works every time. I've also used it on set in stains with good results
