Well Everytime it rains over here something bad happens.
First big rain I lost five ducks to the neighbors dog and had to chase the rest of my flcok back home from a mile radius.
Second time I lost three juvnile ducks to the neighbors dog and had to round my ducks p from the neighbors pond - again.
Now, yesterday The neighbor called and one of my ducks was in his ditch. I found her, she had a few punture wounds but was otherwise alright.
I also had four ducks Go to the neighbors pond. Two went to one pond, one went to another, and then I had one duck missing all together.
Well i found the missing duck - Oak, a choco pied muscovy who I just got from an rescue center.
SO now I have two scovie hens and my DUck Catfish at the neighbors ponds. SO As soon as they get home I'm Cutting Pigeon and Moss'e wings. They are both scovie girls, and Im not too worried about catfish.
Now - Before anyone says anything about my set up I let my ducks free range during the day ONLY when I am home. The first time the ducks were out and the rain came hard and sudden and I thought that they would be ok playing in it. I was wrong
The second time The ducks were locked p but the juveniles slipped through the fence.
And then yesterday I had just been out to check on them not even twenty minutes earlier before my ducks scattered.
So I guess Im just glad I know were everyone is but im dissappointed that i have to clip their beautiful wings.
