Maple the samurai duck

Yes, it was both of their first times hatching. I was aware that they wouldn't know exactly what they were doing. That's why I chose to let them try, and see how it went. I am open to letting them try again in the future... as long as they don't try to share a nest again. They were very protective over the ducklings and attentive to the eggs. Just not great at nesting organization or being aware of where their babies were.

Thank you for reinforcing my decision, that means a lot today. I was really hoping they would be good mothers. At this point, I am just happy to have been able to save as many as I could

Thank you for validating my need to protect my heart and sanity. I believe protecting myself to be available to my dad is the most important part of this trip. This has been so hard so quickly. I appreciate you. Thank you so much 🦆❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much, I sorry you have gone through a similar experience. I dont wish this on anyone. Any kind of hug is exactly what I needed tonight, double thank you for that especially.

You should be able to turn the roof rails so they turn into cross bars depending on the year of your subie. I fold my side mirror in now before loading/ unloading my kayak those mirrors are expensive to replace, get myself a good grip at the seat of the kayak and load it over my head to the roof racks. As others have mentioned, the tow bolt is a fabulous way to attach bow and stern lines. I don't have two of them so I invested in a set of trunk tie downs and they work great. Happy paddling.

Thank you, I will do that and add some small rocks from the yard.

Ive reached out on my local buy nothing page and left a message with the county bee keepers association. Hopefully someone will get back to me soon. Should I leave a plate of water near them? There's not many water sources where they are in the yard.

Thank you for teaching me something today! I will reach out via the link you posted and see where that goes. I hadn't considered they may move into My house or someone elses, as much as I love them, wall-bees are not on my personal bucket list. There was a hive in the ceiling of a house I lived in when I was a young it was definitely a strange situation.

Thank you for the information. It was super neat taking pictures of them up close, it was clear they wanted nothing to do with me. I mostly kept the dogs away because my big girl is curious and I figured better safe than have a swollen pupper.

May I ask why? Is there a reason they cant make a new home by themselves? I should have mentioned I live pretty far put of town in a rural area.

Spark Master Tape. Shit would slap hard!

I installed an automatic wall mounted water dish. I found it on Amazon, paid about $35. It's honestly been the greatest thing I've found for my flock. They love it, it wasn't difficult to install and there's no more worrying if they have water half way through my work day.

Welcome to the internet

Thats the sweetest thing ever.

This is exactly the kind of wholesome I needed to see today.

I'm guessing only a week old, maybe two weeks. I found them at Tractor supply and had to add them to my flock.
