We have two female ducks, a khaki and a mallard. So, last week the mallard flies to the next door pond. They have 12 ducks or so. Our Khaki duck quacks all day long with the mallard quacking back but she doesn't come home. Next morning, the mallard come back to our pond for a visit, swims around with our khaki for a bit and flies off. Now our khaki quacks and quacks, with the mallard quacking back occassionally but she is not comeinf home. Next door, they have male crested mallards. She has found a mate! Now we have a lonely little khaki duck swimming around and gets excited when we come to visit or the cat hangs out at the pond. Hussy mallard!
Today I went out to the garden to thin out the radishes and cut some lettuce for dinner. I see over at Sue's (our neighbor to the south) and her puppy great pyreneese puppy running after a grey chicken, or so I thought. NO, he's chasing my grey silkie rooster, up and down along the fence. Now I have no idea how he got there since he does not fly like the hens but I had to get him out of there. The dog will eat him since he is not part of their flock. I went in to the bramble and spent a half hour trying to grab him, but no success. I lifted the chain link fence so he could go through, no, too easy. I gave up! Be eaten you stupid bird. I went inside and cleaned the house.
Two hours later, I came out to view the hens and he was standing right below the deck! Stupid bird! Can you get poison ivy in the fall?
