My chickens hate getting sprayed but my dog loves it,jumps after the water and tries to bite it.

Chickens aren't fans of water and neither is my dog, but the ducks sure love it!

I don't spray them on purpose,sometimes when I'm cleaning some water comes their way.

Hello fellow Washingtonian duckkeeper! My ducks run away from the hose but they sure love their pool

As soon as they hear the spray they come running out of the shelter and stands under it for a bit before frantically digging in the mud😀

Mine definitely come running when they hear running water, they just stay out of the line of fire until it’s mud pit time

Silly birds. I love them.

Me too! I found out I’m violently allergic to duck eggs after getting them, but I still want to get more!

Oh gosh! Ours are still too young to lay, probably Spring. I sure hope we're not allergic. We'll keep them and love them anyway.

I don’t think it’s an especially common allergy. Some people who can’t tolerate chicken eggs are fine with duck. Chicken eggs bother me too but not as much. Duck eggs have a lot going for them, and they have significantly more omega-3 without supplementing feed. I hope I didn’t worry you! I just thought it was kind of funny how it worked out for me

It's good info. We are new to ducks so I'm constantly researching and talking to more experienced people.

Well, I’ve only had mine since May 2021 so I barely qualify as more experienced. But I’m always happy to talk duck.

It is a great learning experience. We're working on turning onee property into a little hobby farm and I think ducks are the perfect beginner animal.

“The smoke didn’t get them.” “Waterboard them.”

They are tough nuts to quack. This might call for desperate measures...
