I know, not very active on here lately. Going through a lot of personal bs.
Goslings are doing well, growing like three times the rate of ducklings. They both love being outside and hate me leaving them outside. As soon as I'm out of sight they start crying for me.
Moved four ducklings...
Snuggling a Miracle Duckling.
Trouper is so pretty. She stands *almost* like a runner, no idea where she got that from. Almost is good, because I don't particularly like runners, lol!
Had another argument with my daughter. I don't want to live here anymore... But I have nowhere to go, especially with how expensive everything is and how little I get every month.
Just put up some ads to sell most of the ducks.
Colt the Gosling is quite the character. The dog is afraid of him! Colt actually tries to bite poor Taiyo's nose!
Right now, Colt is bathing in the dog's water bowl.
Noticed yesterday my oldest duck Coco was not there. And in retrospect, I realized I hadn't seen her in a few days. I feel kinda terrible about this.
She was an escape artist, always finding *some way* of getting out. I suspect this happened and she went to the water/swamp in the woods and...
Shadowing egg externally pipped yesterday. Couple more of the orphan eggs are getting close!
I have to admit, I looking forward to the end of the hatchings.
Gathered some asparagus and wild garlic mustard greens today. Going to saute them in butter. Yum!
Also got a text from someone who had purchased some ducklings from me a couple of weeks ago. One of the ducklings was killed by a predator overnight and the remaining one is (understandably)...
Welp, one egg in lockdown! :lau
These were eggs that got kicked out of the nest and I decided to put in. There are six of them, no idea if scovy or quacker. Been candling every evening since I had no idea how long the duck had been sitting before they were kicked out. This one is either...
GUESS WHAT!!!??!!
So, remember when I said I only had three eggs developing out of the 45+ I'd stuffed into the Maticoopx? Well, there were some that didn't look quite clear so I left them in too. Total of 15. Well, now there's 12 developing eggs!!!
:wee
I have no idea where I'm going to...
