    One of them decided to sit in the empty rind after they were done and laid an egg in it

    Wait, really? The rest of your comment sounds sincere, but this is so absurd that I genuinely can’t tell if this happened or if you’re just being funny.

      Yeah. Ducks are absolutely ridiculous creatures. My two pekins follow the cat motto of “if I fits I sits.” I find them in silly places all the time. The female, Judy’s, favorite place to sit outside is a hole she dug herself over a couple of months.

        Duck tax means sending cute pictures of ducks btw.
        You have to give it every time you mention you own a duck.

        Now without further ado, send duck pics.

        We had pekin and they figured out a good food hack. We fed the flocks using gutters (then everyone can feed without fighting for space). But the pekins would straddle the gutter, stick their head in the feed with mouth open, and then flap forward and kick their feet to ‘ride’ the gutter and scoop up as much food as possible. It was highly effective.

        They ate 10x more than a regular duck and were 5x louder and always involved with any shenanigans going down. Fuck Pekin ducks.

          Lmao that’s hilarious and sounds right for pekins. My boi Salt is so chonky. I feed my birds by making piles of feed in different areas. He just barrels his way through the flock to get first pick of the piles. He eats like he’s starved.

      Not OP but totally sounds real.

      Ducks are like that for sure. They will certainly claim a spot. And eggs just kinda come out the egg hole sometimes. Especially if they aren’t able to secure a nest to lay on a schedule.

      I’ve seen eggs roll out while they are running past to get to their pond.
