What in Ducky Heck is this!?

I'm confused about Patty, ... is Patty a hen duck or a drake?

I believe Patty is a girl duck. .. .

Patty is a hen duck who is super-de-dooper amorous and will take on whatever roll necessary to get the “job” done. And since OG doesn’t typically like to be the pursuer, Patty is generally the instigator.

I bet they are happy to be back together. Sounds like back to normal stuff too. lol

Little Bit is a good name. Growing is good too. Hopefully everything else will fall into place also she has done well with ya'lls TLC, Just keep those pics coming we love pics.

Funny you should ask for more pics... I happened to record the Swede quartet and Cayuga’s safe introductions today. I’ve officially combined their brooders but have a barrier in place until I can be assured the Cayugas will be safe/not trampled/Little Bit not swallowed whole.

And a quick little video of the sun (thank the gods!) with my Pekins in their run Yes!!! OG and Patty got to be normal duck girls today!

Taking everything into account, I think OG is better off with Patty as a mate than a for real drake.

Look at that those bullies want so bad to get over and pick on the younsters. Hopefully by the time the 2 Cayugas get as large as the bullies they will have settled down and become friends. So funny how they act,really like kids.

That is a great run for the Pekins sun and grass,water and mud what else could a girl ask for.

*** OG UPDATE ( ** I exercised poor judgment in letting the girls go outside again yesterday.

Day one, which I had recorded for you guys, was fine and she preened herself up well and there wasn’t a problem on the wipe and swipe.

Day 2, yesterday, let them out again. I didn’t bother posting pics or vids because it was just the same ol’ muddy ducky story.

This morning there’s blood all over her chest and I panic (of course). I take a good look and she’s either over preened the area or the mud irritated it a bunch, I don’t know. But the wound is open. Well open, and I can see her breast muscle. Soooo I’ve called the vet, we’ll be rounding her up and taking her in. It’s considered urgent care so it’ll be a bit more expensive, which totally sucks for my pocket, but I’m just glad that they’ll see her.

So. Today’s gonna suck more than it already was (today’s the anniversary of my husband/kiddo’s dad’s passing...)

I’ll update when there’s more.

Sorry guys. I think I botched this one. I didn’t think it’d be a problem because I wasn’t giving her any water to her bottom side. But clearly something was a bad idea.
