Thank you Steve! My 18 month old daughter and I have been sitting on the couch first thing in the morning, me with coffee and she with her juice starting our day by watching you and your ducks and at the end of each video she says "again! again! duckies!" We used to watch puppies but you and your ducks are the best!!!! Big hugs from New York City :)
Hi And Greetings from the UK {Bristol} Thank you very much for your kind comments I am glad your daughter likes the duck vids. Makes all the time and effort to produce them so much more worth while. Thank you again from Steve {BFG}
You are my HERO!!!!! Custard, my 9 wk. old Wood duck female, has been living in a mesh pet carrier. Watching this gave me the idea of converting our pantry (currently storage) into a duck room. Thank you from all of us here in Indiana!!!
Thank you for the nice comments. Let them out on the Saterday but had to pick them up and place them outside it took them 20 mins to relise this is fun so as i cleaned out the koi pond they were running around the snow having great fun. I love how you play with them in the snow i just love it a pair of very fine ducks you have there. :) Question ?? ware do you keep your ducks if you dont have a garden ? you you leep them in the house/garage ?? post a vid if you have time id sure like to know.
I'm so glad you took them out! :) I can imagine how confused they were at first, but it's good that they were introduced to snowy environment. It would be awesome to see what they're doing in the snow, maybe next time you will film them? Of course, if there will be a next time :) We have around -15C here during day time, and my grandma's chickens walk outside in the snow like pros. Of course it's only for about an hour or less, then they rush back inside :)
haha....they are so darn cute, Steve!! I remember when I was younger and had a dog that did the same thing when he first saw snow. It took myself and my family a couple of days to finally coax him out and from then on he loved it :)
Lovely video, Steve. And good job saving the damaged duck. Haven't been on here for awhile, and it's great to see the family expanding and changing. I wish your ducks could meet ours for a play date.
Ha ha, very funny! My Pipke also didn't like the snow. Even if she had to walk a short distance through the snow already after a few meters she went to lie on her belly to hide her feets between her feathers. She didn't want to get cold feet! Love the video!
That is how I feel about my chickens. I have only had them fly out of the yard 1 time and that was due to lightning. To my bird we just added 2 baby cayugas. Love your duck room.
I'm in Newfoundland and we recently had a heavy snowfall - I have 2 female domestics - and they love it! what troopers! they've actually been tunneling thru the snow in places where I haven't shovelled - I'm so proud of them! they even seem to get that snow is water and are eating quite a bit - I set up a big shallow container to put warm water in for swimming - so we have a duck spa here on the north Atlantic :)
this is great! I love how you communicate to you're ducks it feels like there very fond of you! I think this great that you don't force them outside which many people would do, they make there own decisions! DUCKS RULE!! :)
Thank you for the nice comments. I dont like my ducks to get cold or hungry or thirsty at the very least and bath time if not in the pond is just great fun for them and wet for me.:). I think i spoil them a bit but as i built the duck room for them i think why not :) Thank you again.
i can relate to your videos i have parrots and they are almost like ducks they greet you when you get home from work and just are so much fun i can see how much you care about them and i love watching duck behavior have always wanted to have one but can't because i don't have the means to care for them it seems that you put so much effort to care for them i like that it shows in your videos how great your are at caring for them. btw i like all of your videos.
This is soooo neat. I never really been one to think of something with feathers to be playful, affectionate and the like until I worked at a pet shop that specialized in birds; Mainly macaws, conures and cockatiels. You find out they have different personalities, likes and dislikes JUST like any human individual. Some are sweet as can be and can't get enough cuddles, and some want nothing to do with you and will even go out of their way to be mean. (I've been nipped at more than once when passing by their display perches!) I guess it's just oddly fascinating to me to see what is usually considered a "farm animal" to actually be extremely interactive and human-friendly. Most ducks I've ever been around have either been too afraid or just plain mean when it comes to people, but I'm sure it makes a difference when they are hand-raised and personally cared for. You OBVIOUSLY care for yours very much, and that's awesome.
Thank you for your kind comments :) Yes they are sure looked after there duck run inside is centrally heated and insulated. So in the winter it could be blowing a gale driving rain or snow 10 below and when you walk in there are all asleep or settled down for the night oblivious to whats going on outside. And no foxes or anything that sneak in during the night. I also have CCTV when im at work to see if all is ok with them. :)
Hi Mr wonderful Ii still come on your videos as my grandchildren love seeing them think your a special man ....My Linda & Carole are sitting on eggs will be hatching any day know im so exited hahaha im loving having my girls iv got 4 & my girls as in dogs are so good with them & iv also got a Budgerigar he so tame love them ...keep up the good work .
Haha this was the first time my ducks saw snow too but they darted out and started swimming in it hahah. i love your ducks there beautiful :D i hope to create a run like yours someday.. if only i had a garden XD
LOL i agree they are not sure what it was and even now if its to cold outside ill put them out they look around and run back in wanting to be put back in there run.So funny to watch. :~)
Hello Steve ...I loved your new video ...i see you have some more ducks darker ones .....to think i got someone to put my duck house up & it snowed so i will have to put it off till Feb you are such a softy with your ducks ...i see some ducks like the snow ...... I will get back to your email soon ..keep your videos coming .... by the way would you mind if i put one of your videos on my Facebook the one where your taking them for a walk ...I wouldn't do it till iv asked you ....keep warm
heheh thank you for the nice comments :) Mine were the same i had to put them outside by hand they done the same and just stood by the door waiting to go back in. :) loved it.
Aww What that's not good. I have just finished another smallish run for the 2 grey white bibs. And Yesterday {Sat} i laid a concrete base for another outside run with a door {to be cut out next week} so they can be safe during the day and not trash my lawn when it starts raining. :~)
hahaha yes they love being inside in the winter warm and toasty with -8c outside snow frost freezing rain ect and all the duck curled up warm as toast inside :)
The two white bibbed ducks are ready to go to there new home when it warms up a bit. I normaly clip there wings just enough so not to fly away so nowmaly they can roam free in the garden all day with no one home. :)
No not at all these are call ducks and here in the uk they stay all year round and it is common to see them walking across frozen ponds in the middle of the winter. :~)
That may be so but here in the south of the uk it snows very little here and this was the first winter for these babies and they had never seen snow so it was the first time for everything. :)
Hi Jeffrey nice to hear from you hope all the family are well ?. Yes i sure would like to pop them in a basket and come and visit my my ducks that would be so nice to do. And thank you for your nice comments :~)
Thank you I think that's a good idea I have vids being produced at the moment of my "back yard" or my garden im just waiting a bit more for all the flowers to grow as it has been so far this year a bit cold so all plants ect are late. :~)
There wings are clipped twice a year but i clip as little as i can test them by letting them go across the garden if not enough trim a bit more off them until they can fly away from trouble but not fly away and loose them. Also if they are happy with there environment {garden} they don't even fly out of the garden even if they can. :~)
love your videos, been feeding mallard ducks few summers now, would love to see more about duck behavior and some of their signals (pumping head up and down). if you know what they mean or suspect, i would love to hear. ps. do film more videos. :)
Hi i have Em the male i raised with Abbey these are both white so white babies. I had a friend that had a brown call duck that was in a sorry state with angle wing {deformed wings} could not digest food very well and was very much under weight. So i had her and nursed her back to full health the owner fixed one of the deformed wings but the other was to far gone. She can still fly though she is so friendly and has been accepted in the the clan so white male brown female = bibbed ducks.:)
Well when there heads bob up and down it is the sign that they want to be mounted by the male the male will also join in or vice versa its also a greeting as well. When they have done there business the male will rush about showing that he is the "man" then washing time is next for both. There is a few more things they do but wild ones do not do it very often like they will "cluck or Quack" and heads and body bob up and down if they think they are going to fly or go look at something they have not seen before. If you talk to them very softly they will "Squint" or close there eyes that is like a smile to us humans.When you talk to a tame duck and that duck is comfortable around you it will open a shut its beak very fast (like a chatter but no noise) i think it could be like a conversation but with no noise just gestures. If they have not seen you for a while like for example coming home from work they will "chatter" to you and if stuck in there run they will try to get out this a happy greeting and are pleased to see you and are very excited. This happens mainly with tame ducks as we humans in the ducks eyes/mind are just a duck on 2 legs. :) Vids coming this summer when the job i do allows :)
too funny! i have 2 females and they do the bobbing a lot - then sometimes they mount each other! are they gay, do you suppose?l anyway they also seem to do the bobbing together when they're planning on doing something - because right afterwards, off they go (somewhere). this morning, one of them sat across from me, watching each other, thru a glass door - then she did that yawning thing twice. I did it back. then she did it back. this went on for about 5 minutes! interesting duck-human communication!
I do have a video on it. it was the first every video i uploaded. granted its changed since then, i have a little balcony with a cage and a meter square area outside which i leave thier drinking water and let them out during the day. When im home they spend some time inside with me otherwise i take them to the park every day i have time. If i take them out too often for example two days in a row they get really tired and just want to sit and sleep. They seem to prefer a 3 days a week walk
When did you get the bibbed ducks? Also whats the difference between the calls of call ducks and other breeds? I ready they have a more high pitchedcall, but hat exactly do they sound like?
Love it i have checked your channel but i see no vid on them. I watched 2 mallards and a German Shepard but no Peking ducks i recon a vid is required. :)
Love the video slightly random but I don't suppose you know how long call ducks live for mine are about 6 years old I just wanted to know if this is old or not ? :)
Well the runs are a bit small so instead of having just one larger pen i built them there own smaller runs. when they come in at night they are tired and just want to have a drink a few meal worms then sleep. If they are all in together some will fight each other the others cant get any rest so they prefer to be in there own groups at night. :)
aww your such a sweet man c= I have a a Kaki Cambell duck (spelled wrong?) named Yackamo I also have a goose named Yoshi she is super tame and runs after me like she did at a few dayss old even though she's now 10 times that size!
MEH NAME Thank you for the kind comments i always wanted a goose but but i dont have the room what with 5 call ducks already that would be to crowded and cruel to the flock i have here :)
(= your so welcome, they are so beautiful Hand reared geese are very needy birds if they imprint on humans they'll call for you if your not around my goose is partially imprinted on chickens which helps.
Return the duck room to INCANDESCENTS,with some chicken breeder lights ( incandescent) healthier for them. Careful on the red breeder lights, while they are health restoring for ducks AND humans,they can heat up. NO LEDS ( poisoness)
Thanks for the info 5 years ago lights were lights. My ducks are outside 80% of the time only at night they come in then lights are on for only a few hours then they are all asleep. :)
The male ducks are very quite but the females are very very loud not sure how to discribe it but not so much a high pitch call but very loud "hence call duck" The Call duck breed is i think based on the body shape and how they stand. Take a Mallard duck {Call duck} short neck level body when walking. Now a Runner or an Alysbury are longer neck and body is more upright {Taller}. Also not as noisy and a bit more brain power because its a bigger bird all round. :) i think that about sums it up HEHE
Done as promised i took them out today in the snow they were not sure for a while but seemed ok after an hour {i was cleaning the koi pond at the time}. But after about 2 hours they kept tapping the door to go back in so i finished up and took them in back to the run. They are now asleep as i type this out. :~)
Thank you for your videos, they make me happy.
You are so loving bless you and your ducks.
Thank you i do love my babies should have a new vid posted very soon (just trying to find some spare time to do it)
Thank you Steve! My 18 month old daughter and I have been sitting on the couch first thing in the morning, me with coffee and she with her juice starting our day by watching you and your ducks and at the end of each video she says "again! again! duckies!"

Hi Shelly thank you for the nice comments. You have my blessing to what you like with these vids enjoy. :)

Max has the sweetest face and you're an excellent duck daddy!
That is how I feel about my chickens. I have only had them fly out of the yard 1 time and that was due to lightning. To my bird we just added 2 baby cayugas. Love your duck room.
This reaction, wen you open the Door and the look and think "back! "back!" "back!" so priceless. :D
+Martin W HeHe yes they sure do not like the snow just softy ducks :)
I'm in Newfoundland and we recently had a heavy snowfall - I have 2 female domestics - and they love it! what troopers! they've actually been tunneling thru the snow in places where I haven't shovelled - I'm so proud of them! they even seem to get that snow is water and are eating quite a bit - I set up a big shallow container to put warm water in for swimming - so we have a duck spa here on the north Atlantic :)

Nice to see such happy, spoiled duckies. lol
If there's the cutest sweetest Bird award for sure this call duck breed deserves it 😊
Oh yes i agree
Thank you for the nice comments. I dont like my ducks to get cold or hungry or thirsty at the very least and bath time if not in the pond is just great fun for them and wet for me.:).

My one and only post. Shall I start a crowd fund for some tiny "Canada Goose" jackets,and Sorrels,from over the pond,here? Hahaha.love those dearies.
:) hahahaha
Adorable! I think you should bring in some snow inside for them, let the ducks feel it. It might be quite fun for them (:
that was so funny how they were ready to go out then suddenly turned and walked in !
One day perhaps but for now they seem to be very happy with what they have on offer. :)
LOL i agree they are not sure what it was and even now if its to cold outside ill put them out they look around and run back in wanting to be put back in there run.So funny to watch. :~)
Hahahaha. Thats funny man. They're thinking. Its a trap!! Turn around fast. Lol.
They sure do its there home as much as mine and if they don't want to go out so be it they have a day indoors in the warm. :)

That is one amazing duck house
Ha thank you again :)

Thank you for your kind comments and yes there are call ducks :)
No not at all these are call ducks and here in the uk they stay all year round and it is common to see them walking across frozen ponds in the middle of the winter. :~)

this was filmed on my birthday! love your vids!
Very beautiful
Thank you :)
i have 7 ducks 4 males and 3 females keeps me in eggs either for eating or incubating :)
I haven´t heard about that ones before, but we do have Mallard ducks here where I live. It´s the most common wild breed..
Hi Jeffrey nice to hear from you hope all the family are well ?. Yes i sure would like to pop them in a basket and come and visit my my ducks that would be so nice to do.
And thank you for your nice comments :~)
Thank you I think that's a good idea I have vids being produced at the moment of my "back yard" or my garden im just waiting a bit more for all the flowers to grow as it has been so far this year a bit cold so all plants ect are late. :~)
Ducks just wanna fly south!
+Aunty Googol :)
There wings are clipped twice a year but i clip as little as i can test them by letting them go across the garden if not enough trim a bit more off them until they can fly away from trouble but not fly away and loose them. Also if they are happy with there environment {garden} they don't even fly out of the garden even if they can. :~)
love your videos, been feeding mallard ducks few summers now, would love to see more about duck behavior and some of their signals (pumping head up and down). if you know what they mean or suspect, i would love to hear. ps. do film more videos. :)
What kind of ducks you have? They are beautiful
Hi i have Em the male i raised with Abbey these are both white so white babies. I had a friend that had a brown call duck that was in a sorry state with angle wing {deformed wings} could not digest food very well and was very much under weight. So i had her and nursed her back to full health the owner fixed one of the deformed wings but the other was to far gone. She can still fly though she is so friendly and has been accepted in the the clan so white male brown female = bibbed ducks.:)
hey in the summer put a net up in your yard so the ducks can play without them flying away or you havving to watch them
I am in colorado and my pet ducks are in pennsylvania still so im sad that i don't get to see them anymore they followed mr around everywhere
They did not want to go out to play because you forgot their wellies!!!!!!!!!!
Ha i sure did :)
wow! Respect to you my friend. Everyone has so much to learn by watching this.
Thank you :)
Well when there heads bob up and down it is the sign that they want to be mounted by the male the male will also join in or vice versa its also a greeting as well. When they have done there business the male will rush about showing that he is the "man" then washing time is next for both.

:)
Love the video slightly random but I don't suppose you know how long call ducks live for mine are about 6 years old I just wanted to know if this is old or not ? :)
In nature, they just go on and migrate, correct?
Well the runs are a bit small so instead of having just one larger pen i built them there own smaller runs. when they come in at night they are tired and just want to have a drink a few meal worms then sleep. If they are all in together some will fight each other the others cant get any rest so they prefer to be in there own groups at night. :)
Is max a Pekin duck? Tht is wat he looks like, but he is very small.

Hand reared geese are very needy birds if they imprint on humans they'll call for you if your not around my goose is partially imprinted on chickens which helps.
This video made me smile. :) What type of ducks do you have?
Thank you and these are Call Ducks. :)
I suppose I am never thought of it that way :~)
Yes i have a vid half done i have not finished it yet i have been at work for longs hours but rest assured i will get it finished asap :)
What ducks do you have and how many. ?
6:56 love that pic
How come your dogs are all seperated in different little cages?
your a gentle giant
Normally ok but the females if there stressed are very loud or when they want to let everyone know they are here. :)
Return the duck room to INCANDESCENTS,with some chicken breeder lights ( incandescent) healthier for them.

Also not as noisy and a bit more brain power because its a bigger bird all round. :) i think that about sums it up HEHE
Thank you :~)
I love Ducks
Agreed i will see what i can do in the morning :)
Done as promised i took them out today in the snow they were not sure for a while but seemed ok after an hour {i was cleaning the koi pond at the time}. But after about 2 hours they kept tapping the door to go back in so i finished up and took them in back to the run. They are now asleep as i type this out. :~)
