Really lovely, except the'll be smelly soon!
Our ducks could never hatch them (aylesbury) we used to hatch them under our bantum chooks!

Why smelly, none of the other ducks smell, and we had the last batch of runners in the house for the first month.Tigerhair wrote:Really lovely, except the'll be smelly soon!

oh yes ducks do smell, or at least their pond will.

Ours were always grubby little monsters - rolling around in their own poo. Perhaps yours are more fastidious than ours were!

I think mine must have OCD then as mine are really clean (they were not during the wet season of June/July this year), But generally they are. Their pond is smallish, so will get changed every week in the warm weather, same as we did with the old one before we moved.

They are adorable! Almost makes me want to get a few ducks again. :)

you should, we find our "duck army" hillarious, they serve as an alarm clock, watchdog and egg machine

Someday I'll get some more, but right now we have no place to house them. They are just too messy to leave loose like we do with the chickens here. But I do love the ducklings!

I second that! They are also very good toe nibblers!possum wrote:you should, we find our "duck army" hillarious, they serve as an alarm clock, watchdog and egg machine
