Me: Zaruma, that is the drinking trough.
Zaruma: I know, Julie. It’s not just me – Tapper’s having a break from her eggs in here too.
Me: But Zaruma, I’ve told you before not to swim in the drinking trough.
Tapper: I’m out of here!
Me: Good girl, Tapper – go and look after your eggs. Zaruma, could you please swim in the pond from now on?
Zaruma: The geese won’t let me.
Me: Okay, I’ll have a word with the geese.
Me: Seli and Ola – could you please let the ducks into the pond occasionally?
Seli and Ola: NO!

Selfish ducks I see sibling rivalary is alive with the Duck Family. I feel better. All is not askew with the world after all.
I just needed to check with Jules ducks
Life IS sweet! Thankx for that my friend ~BB
Those kids!
OH! C’mon you guys! earn your keep and buy your own pond.. But does that mean each goose will have a pond of their own, still leaving the ducks out?will the ducks fight for their rights? Stay tuned…
Janechese, yes they will! Mine do it all the time. Water rights, food rights, it’s divide and conquer! My Goose boys want to control the world! 😉
so funny! I worked with geese and ducks and various other beings for two summers. No messing with those geese!
Julie, I have two three gallon buckets for drinking water, and a six foot wading pool for them to swim in. They wash in the buckets and then drink the pool water. Lately the boys have been pulling the plug out of the pool and letting it all drain away! It wouldn’t be so bad if they waited til later in the day when it was dirty and needed cleaning, but we’re talking within an hour or two of filling it in the morning! Now we know where the term “Silly Goose” comes from. LOL!
