Hel's Duck Nuggets

These guys know what’s up. They don’t like being herded but love to play in running water. Two dogs on premises : Baby Girl and Callie Dog... Both very well behaved most of the time.... https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Day 20: demanding peas. MRDucks! https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Now 19 days old and big enough to not come out of the enclosure. Bigger bowl of food, bigger swimming water. They grow so fast. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Going to outgrow the bathtub brooder before too long! https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Love my outdoor bathtub brooder to get the kiddos out of the house when it gets warm enough. We have a mix of 11 day old (8), 6 day old (3 temporary while we set them up their own quarters) and 1 day old (1 for comparison) https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Hatched 3-22 to 3-24 St. Patrick’s fertility check straight run. These will be raised by me for approximately 2 months before leaving for their forever home. Reserve a hatch for yourself today. All hatches currently reserved thru April 2023. Indian Runner Ducks, Central Texas. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

They are loving the one pond that still has water. Dancing for more rain to fill up the others!! https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Merged all the breeder pens for the cold weather season. Everyone is getting along famously, so they got their first outing to the pond they didn't know was there. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

First time for some of these ducks being together. They usually are split up in 4 groups during breeding season, but with the cold spell, we are tucking them into the utility shed on a bed of hay so they can help keep each other warm and be out of the wind. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Dr LesterDuck is first in the water… followed by Blue. Beyond them is Squeaky Janaway playing in the mud. Not pictures are Yellow, and the drake Captain James Duck Kirk. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Disturb something and the ducks will make noise about it!! Nothing like a pile of poopy shavings to dig thru. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Our dirt guy in action. He is skilled in calculating the footprint of the materials. Liberty Hill/Leander Texas https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

This is an older video from Late October 2017. I carved a duck into the pumpkin as I the ducks were using the pumpkin as an extra water bowl for about a week. They ate up the flesh of this pumpkin until it collapsed. They love pumpkin season! https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Ms. Brodie hen’s are now a month and a half old. I’m hearing 3 girls so far in the group and one of the dark ones is exhibiting the beginning of a drake curl. They are doing well. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Counting 37 ducks 6 crates, 1.5 hours a day, over 1500 eggs in 2022. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Taken on 11-23-2012, Mama had just had her puppies on 10-10-2012. She was hanging out with the humans and taking a break from nursing. Unfortunately, both of these dear friends in the video have since passed. Mama Dog June 2021 and Friend June 2022. We were privileged to know these great souls. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Ms. Broodie Hen’s ducklings are getting big and starting to show their juvenile colors. Almost a month old. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Newbie ducks in a new space after 3 weeks in a small space. They went from 10lf of perimeter hard fence to 164 lf of electrified netting. They are very happy with the upgrade. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

These little guys are 12 days old and growing fast! https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Hatched on 6-5, at a week and a half old, they can get in and out of the taller bowl already. We are letting Mama Duck raise these. However, we dohave 4 available hatched 6-12 and more hatching this week end. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

She has taken a liking to jumping in the pool... https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

This group has been with us almost 2 years and have the hang of things.... https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

Broody hen hatched out 5 on her own, and I slipped 3 more in from the incubator. She is very protective of them. At 100 degrees outside, I'm not worried the little guys will get chilled. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets

She would play ball all day long if it was her choice. She LOVES it! She spends quiet time staring outside where we play ball or sleeping on the couch. https://mewe.com/i/thecrazyduckladyhel - https://heldraws.wixsite.com/helsducknuggets
