So anyway ... mum says I reeeeeeeelliiii can't hang around with the boys, or their friends, anymore!

Went to Jess and Brads yesterday to pick up ONE female muscovy ..... and came home with THREE! Doh

No matter - they are lovely looking girls, and as soon as they come out of hiding I promise to get some pics!

They have been named Ethal, Mildred and Gertrude! My original Fred and Ethal were actually Fred and George. Fred is a rather dominant male and giving his lil' bro a hard time so he is going to a new home ... but a very good home I believe!

Needless to say George will be in his element with all those girls!

Had to convert the old large shed down the back into the new "Poultry Penninsula" today ... between 4 ducks and 6 (soon to be 10) chooks they very quickly out grew the old aviary I had them in! LOL

Stay tuned for PICTURES ...... ;D ;D ;D

Oh cool, I love reading about the effects of others addictions. Can't wait for pics.

So here are the girls ....

This is Mildred - lovely blue and white


And this is my girl Ethal (right) - she is a very gentle bird actually. I can't help but feel she may have been hand raised!


And this is Gertrude! I'm thinking Gert may actually be a boy - need the boys to check it out!

They're lovely Bel.

Looking good Bel! Poor things must be getting plenty of unwanted male attention by now! I am sure that last one is a female, but you can never be 100% sure. As of right now it looks like a mature female! Keep your eyes peeled for eggs!

Oh how exciting!! Ducks are so cool! I would love to get one, but with the mess and all being in a rental...you know how it goes

[Sparkles]

Hey Nat - the ducks are great hey! There really isn't the mess that you would expect hey! The bonus about their poop is that it washes straight into the ground! I turn the sprinklers on and most of it disappears!!

[Natenla]

Hmm problem being no sprinklers or hosing or even buckets of water allowed here atm!! We are on the strictest water restrictions!! Level 5 now
