Farrah is a Saxony/Appleyard cross. The seven young birds are Saxony.

😁

They are!

They love it!

Thank you!

I grappled with this problem for many years. The ducks have a seasonal pond during the fall/winter months but make do with the kiddie pools during the hot, dry summer. Pond liners, duck droppings, filters, pumps, it gets way too complicated. Believe me, I've pondered this forever!

@@point6acre There’s a man-made pond in the village my family vacations at, but I think that in part it serves to offset the parts of the local water table displaced by the roads. It’s in a marsh- beach area, so while it isn’t a fully natural body of water, I think it might be partly stream-fed… but everyone still just calls it “the pond” or “the duck pond” 🤷‍♀️

The ducks have a seasonal pond during the fall/winter months and make do with the two kiddie pools during the hot, dry summer months. They're fine!

There are two pools, albeit kiddie pools for the ducks during the summer. Point 6 Acre is on a well and the water gets changed every day for the small pool in the enclosure and every other day for the pool outside. It's the best option during the hot, dry summer. The ducks are happy. Not to worry!

@@point6acre Oh good. Thanks.

I'll see if I can do a video tomorrow morning It won't be a short!

@@point6acre okayyy I’ll watch ittt thank youuuu!!!✌🏻☺️

I'm sad saying unfortunately Clarence was killed by eagles Sunday evening. It was a horrible shock which affected all of us, not the least Dawg. He was very upset. The best we can do is introduce Soupy and regain a sense of normalcy for Farrah and Flo. The seven ducklings are growing in leaps and bounds and will also produce a sense of curiosity for the older ducks as they are gradually introduced. That being said, ducks and chickens are in lock-down for at least another week for their safety while adult eagles and other raptors teach their young to feed. Thanks for reaching out and asking!

@@point6acre I am so very sad and sorry for your loss. I know the feeling as I've had one killed by a hawk years ago. Poor Dawg. I hope he recovers soon as well as the girls. I log in every day to get my daily "fix" of the ducks coming out of their little house. I hope that Soupy settles in well and the girls warm up to him very soon. ❤🦆

They did!

@@point6acre Lol they are so funny, have rewatched them a couple times lol

Đó là điều tuyệt vời về vịt!

The drake is Clarence, and the two hens are Farrah (lighter one) and Flo!

Thanks 😊

Ihre Ohren wurden nicht abgeschnitten. Sie werden mit sehr kleinen Ohren geboren. Es handelt sich um eine Rasse namens La Mancha. Es wurde keine Grausamkeit begangen.

These are Saxony eggs I ordered from Manitoba. They came a long way!

I have these ducks for eggs. Hatched seven ducklings and will add the hens to the flock when they're bigger. Will sell any drakes. Ducks are wonderful creatures!

Aku tidak tahu! Anda berkomentar. Terima kasih!

They are happy ducks. I love these ducks, they bring immense joy!

The females are Saxony/Appleyard cross and the drake is a Buff Orpington cross. I have purebred Saxony eggs arriving on the 11th. Hopefully several will hatch. Stay tuned!

He tries!

Thanks for your suggestion. Their seasonal pond has just dried up. They are used to this kiddie pool and it is easy to clean. We are on a well, so this is a great alternative.

They do love each other!
