Most all of you know the story of this duck. jojoringer rescued him as a baby but couldn't keep him so that is how we got him. He is growing and he is a he because the curl on the tail has appeared about a month ago. He still loves to hang out with his chicken friends and also the dog. Yes the dog. The dog barks and runs, the duck follows running and probably quacking (hard to tell with the dog barking so loud).
Yesterday Libby (the dog) was digging a hole. Who was right there behind her getting dirt thrown all over and twiddling in the freshly dug dirt....yep, Quackers (the duck).
He is a joy to watch.
Okay for the funny story..... (at least I think it's funny)
One day we let all the chicken out in the yard to roam. We have more than 50 so there were a lot of them running all over. Quackers was out too and since we had not had Quackers out with the older roo before we were not sure how one would react to the other. So as my husband and I are standig there talking about how the roo might treat the duck, the duck marches up and gooses the roo in the rear. The roo flies up in the air, we are rolling laughing and Quackers just walks off as if to say....nothing to worry about I took care of it.
We still laugh at the sight of that big roo flying up in the air after getting a duck bill in the rear.
