You mean, not everyone takes their ducks camping?

Those bags blow in the wind! It could have come from anywhere

Urban tumbleweeds!

Unfortunately they're afraid of other birds. Dorks.

Jeepers ! That was funny!

We haven't been camping all summer because of ducks at home and no duck sitter.

Not realistic... but otherwise My wife and I would come and duck sit ...and make some foxes go ‘swim with the fishes’...the fox thing from another thread... but it ‘stuck’ in my head... being ‘extended’ neighbors of sorts...

... anyway you have me thinking about call ducks and a VW microbus

So immediately prior to our camping trip my son spent 4 days swimming at the Junior Olympics. His last event Sunday was the Mile and for distance races a swimmer must provide their own timer and lap counter. My husband who was meeting us so we could leave from the event was going to time. Of course we couldn't leave Chuck and Buck in the truck when it was 110 degrees out so he loaded the boys up in the wagon and went to time....


Where he promptly got kicked off the pool deck due to a no pet policy.

Apparently the officials didn't realize Chuck and Buck aren't simply pets..... they're family. Boo on the officials!

He should have told them they were his emotional support ducks.

Shh I think I'm already a crazy ...
I can't say no to peep.

Enjoy the disfunction of the moment... and that will keep you sane!

Which is just another way of saying: take some ducks camping!


P.s I have tiny chicken envy... kinda want seramas...but scared of the chicken math... kinda want brahmas also... same same ... chicken math starts to expound particularly when the “mights” and the “tykes “ ..,

So please post a lot so I can enjoy your tiny chickens, in whatever the adventure!!!

This tread is the best! I am loving this!!! I have always wanted a ducks friend...now I have them....and that means adventure!!! I am planing on diaper training Jeffery and then we can go anywhere except junior Olympics..... Man....ducks are the best...like a human that.... quacks, poop(a lot), has webbed toes, and is nothing like a human except one of the best friends you will ever have!!!

Funny thing is.... our lawyer is doing just that due to some other issues.

So my duck-sitter bailed a day before our camping trip. My oldest son was supposed to watch our boys while we took the RV out for a few days with my youngest two kids. We had no options except bring the boys or cancel the trip.

So we loaded the ducks up and went camping.

Camping? With ducks? They behaved better than the kids! There was a water spigot at our camp site and someone had left a hose. We hooked it up and turned it on low. Mud! Bugs! Water! Fun! They didn't even need to be penned up. As long as someone was around they were content on being real ducks.

Then we took them to the lake. Mind you, our pansy ducks have never been interested in the lake.. it's not warm, clear water that they've become accustomed to like at home. They ran at the sight of a small wave lapping at the shore. We had enough and forced one in.... and then the next. They had a blast! They swam around "Daddy" (my son), diving down and popping back up for what seemed like forever. When it was time to go, my son would put one up on shore but as soon as he turned for our other one, he would run back in the water. We laughed so hard watching my kid try to wrangle the clowns back to the truck.

And every night they would run to the red wagon to go for a walk. Let me rephrase that.... every night they would run to the red wagon and go for a ride around the campgrounds. They were thrilled just to be pulled around looking at so much cool stuff and meeting people because let's be real, a boy pulling a wagon of ducks through a campground is kind of a conversation starter.

At night they were tucked away inside the RV for bedtime. I was pretty stressed about taking two ducks camping but I don't think we will ever go without them again!

That's great!
