Been some time since I last posted life has become busy. the ducks are still spend'n the nights with me inside. They have two kiddie pools out side. I give them celery and water melon everyday for breakfast and they have a nice lean turkey feed all the time.  They go outside between 530 and 730 a.m. everyday depending when they want to go out.  I get home for the most part about 2-3 pm where I let them out of the secured area into a bigger area where the bigger pool is. I come back in about a hour and let them out we walk to the other side of the yard where the worms and slugs are spend about 30-60 minutes there then we come back around the house. We walk across the big dirt driveway then behind the closed gas station to a big field and we stay there until they are ready to come back. Lots of dogs there so we don't stay there very long. So we get a pretty good walk every day.  I am willing to bet the geese would go after them like they do the chickens so they are separated at all times. The ducks are full grown now and I would say I have two males and one female. This should make for interesting times a head. So here are a few of our latest journey's.

This is the inside liv'n area for the ducks

You can see that DuckyDoo's nose is heal'n

My huge mistake will change DuckyDoo for the rest of his life.

The ducks like it when I help them gather worms with a shovel, I was digging some where else and they decided they were going to help me I guess. I didn't see Ducky's beak and I hit it with the shovel and it's fucked up. I took him to the vet today he gave some cream and told to use a light iodine solution to to give it a light since. All he does is stand with his beak under his wing for hours. I am not sure I can ever get over this. It hurts me so bad to watch him struggle. I have to give him soft foods for a while and separated from the two ducks. I have picked up smoking as a result of terrible stress and guilt on my part, trust me I hat smoking. But it was the lesser ways I would deal with some thing like this.
