Do ducks make..

[freakygirl]

good house pets?

In tonights newspaper someone is giving away a one year old duck.

I'm thinking that a duck is exactly what I need to add to my home.

Mr Freaky wants to get it and name it Aflac (everyone has seen the Aflac commercials, right?.)

So.. do you think my dogs and cats would accept a duck into the home?

They might if it was in a nice bernaise sauce...

Only time I saw a duck as a pet was on friends... I imagine it would be a bit difficult to keep one as a pet.

Umm Freaky...

Did you know that ducks have their own management sheet with the EPA. Horses and cattle and even pigs are all lumped together. Ducks are so nasty, they have completely different regulations.

Did you know they poop every 7 minutes?

They're kind of cute and all that, but I've owned 'em and even havin 'em outside in a pen is gross.

I like cocks. Is that helpful?

Don't get me started on chickens. But, if you want a couple, I could make you a hell of a deal.

Ducks are no good when you and Mr freaky are doing it the duck will be peeking.

A single duck on it's own will make a funny little "pet" if you have a water source OUTSIDE of your home, but then you have the worry of preditors plus his ongoing chatter when you are not within site.

I always had baby ducks that I raised as a little girl, and it never failed...they were always eaten by a fox or racoon at the end of the summer. However, the one little one I had followed me EVERYWHERE...in the house, out of the house, in the pool (where he would race as I did laps). You just have to be prepared for the "squirts" he makes on a constant basis.

Overall....bunnies are easier and less trouble. They make a great starter pet.

I've had a few ducks as pets, they are not bad if they are OUTSIDE pets only...they cannot be housetrained and trust me duck crap is not pleasant!

I'm not too sure whether your cats or dogs will accept it though.

Hey, get a turkey *snicker*

Don't you have a golden retriever? A dog that retrieves water fowl? Think about it...

My Golden is to dumb to catch a duck.. but Samantha (the dumb mutt) isn't.. I hadn't thought about Sams favorite pass time of chasing ducks.

Ok.. so PCG.. send me a couple of cartons of cigs and a couple of chickens. I have no idea if the dogs will try to eat them or not.



*note to everyone* This thread is a joke... I don't want anymore animals

I'm a wonderful pet, and I sure as hell don't poop every 7 minutes

I wanted to name the duck Perky baby if we got it.

I have this odd habit of naming my animals after people I've met online.

Only when they grow bigger, cute when they are small though.

Hang about for a minute and I'll grab the digitial camera and take a photo of him for you.
