My late Igors grand-drake!


Hi!
Just wanted to show you this handsome duck. I used to own a family of ducks. Sadly the father and mother duck were taken by a fox. I gave the ducklings up to a lady with a small holding giving them much more safety and friends(other ducks and geese).
The original ducks have now flown free but left an egg before they left which has hatched into a gorgous duck who thinks he's a human!
Hes the sweetest thing, more like a dog than a duck, he enjoys coming inside(like his granddad) and follows humans and comes to call.
He really looks like his Granddad who I really really miss!

Well, what is this gorgeous fella's name?? He is quite the looker. We always had ducks when I was growing up, and more often than not, there was one in the bathtub at any given time. I remember Olly who also thought he was a person and came in the house whenever he got the chance. Thanks for sharing.

His name is Dexter. His grandad we think was an East Indian Duck cross, and his Grandmother a Call duck cross. He's not a pedigree duck but he's so cute and has a wonderful personality!

What a great name! He is very handsome.
Ducks make such wonderful companions. Most people just haven't a clue. I'm so sorry about his mom and dad. I had that happen here with Raccoons being the culprits and killing my sweet Lt. Biscuit. [ That was before I knew all birds needed to be locked up tight once the sun went down.]
I was just heartbroken.
