Dueys' Babies and Buddies

Duey has grown so big and beautiful!

Baby Mallards

Duey was so sad over the loss of Luey that we bought him some babies hoping that would comfort him. Josh called when after we had introduced them to see how they were getting along. By this point I had already had them in the tub hoping Duey would realize they were ducks like him. I told Josh well he has stomped one, bit one, and tried to drown one. He said this was his home and his family and that he was not sharing. I am confident that over time and as they grow he will come around!

Duey and his Buddies
Duey has decided that he would rather hang with the chickens than his babies. Funny thing is he was fine until they tried to drink their water and then he would run them off. At that point I made him get out. 

Luey taught Duey to chase the chickens and protect their territory. Who knew ducks could be so territorial? Here he is getting along quite nicely, and seems to have let Luey's teaching wear off a bit. Here are all 12 of our growing guys plus a Duck/Chicken.
