Ducks are messier and more destructive than chickens. ๐
I can believe it, especially with their obsession with grapes
They'll burn your house down if they think you're holding out on giving them grapes
I kid you not, I have had a duck attack my feet because I ran out of food for it.
It was an outside pet, but my buddy and me would sit in his yard while sipping some coffee, and the damn thing got used to me sharing treats. Ran out one day before it was satisfied, and she went off on my feet lol.
My ducks don't get like that over food, but my one duck named Mama Duck comes after me if I try to collect the eggs she and the other birds have laid. She's vicious. I have to put a bucket on her head when I move her off of nests because the only way she won't fight me is if she can't see me. She caught me taking eggs the other day when I thought I was being sneaky and she chased me then tried to fight me through the fence of the enclosure for half an hour.
Dang! That's a serious duck right there. I dunno if eggs are worth it lol
Well I have to take the eggs because my male fertilizes them. If I leave them, they'll hatch. I am at my limit for ducks lol.
