The ducks were going nuts this morning waiting to get let out of the pen for the morning rush, I was laying in bed listening to them working themselves into a frenzy starting around 5;45am.
Dug is having a hard time with first thing in the morning routine, poor dog thinks its dangerous outside when I first go out to take care of the ducks, because of that electrocution he got from the fence weeks ago. It’s so funny trying to get him to come down the stairs in the morning, I grabbed the camera this morning to catch some of the footage of him at the top of the stairs.
Caught Moe the Muscovy drake raping some young female Pekin ducks not too happy with my decision to keep him over one of the other Muscovy drakes I culled, if he doesn’t get accepted by the Muscovy females soon Moe is going to end up in the meat grinder.
Egg production is almost now non-existent, only 5 eggs yesterday it’s getting worse each day considering the eggs I need to sell to the Asian grocery store to help feed the ducks this isn’t a good thing. I’m searching all over the property to find where the ducks are laying them, but they aren’t even dropping eggs in the yard anywhere even under the straw pile I might find maybe 2-3 eggs if I’m lucky.
I need to make money for the Duck Adventure to help feed these pigs, and everyday they are eating more and more…
Finally got the “50 Ducks In A Hot Tub” T-shirts in to help raise money for the duck feed, I took the leap of faith and printed 96 T-shirts in total in sizes Small, Medium, Large, X-Large & 2X-Large. I had to take a chance either buy duck feed or T-shirts so I could raise some money to pay for the huge feed bill I’m now facing everyday here.
The ducklings in the barn that have access to outside are eating a huge amount of feed now everyday, in just under 10 hours they ate over 40 litres of feed or about ¾ of a 55lb (25kg) bag of starter feed, they are eating almost 2 bags a day now in total.
More and more of the young ducks are working their way to the swamp on their own, I have to cut the swamp again. My goal today is to try and start that job the bulrushes are growing so fast because of the rain the ducks are getting harder and harder to see in the swamp, this isn’t a good thing since if a duck can hide so can a predator in the swamp.
It looks like the ducks found the bee hive in the swamp, exactly where Dug and I got stung there was a bunch of ducks there drilling and it looks like they destroyed the hive from what I can see without getting too close.
The duck burger I made from the Muscovy drakes I had to cull was freaking amazing tasting; I know what I’m doing with old ducks now. It has to be the best tasting hamburger I’ve ever ate; I can’t even describe the taste totally new to me.
The young Rouen ducks are a problem with the garden, because ducks love weeds so much they have eaten all of them in the lawn, they are now trying to get under the chicken wire fence I put around the garden and doing it with success I might say. I had to put logs around all the spots they were lifting the wire to stop them, they are destroying what little is growing.
Down at the creek I just noticed how sharp the geese bills are, it’s a very serious pointy item I wouldn’t want to get attacked by a 30lb goose with a weapon like that attached to its head.
