I bought a cheap jon boat to get to the island. It leaks in two places. But we got the island weed eated and planted a Cypress Tree a neighbor gave me.

We then caught the ducks and snipped flight feathers off their right wing. We took 5 of them out and released them. I was on the bank with a broom keeping Booger honest. That didn't work. Booger almost got one as my friend threw them out of the boat "towards" the island. Only one went onto the island as the other 4 tried to get up the shore, searching for their other 5 pen mates. I kept running around the bank keeping the first 5 corralled in the pond while waving a broom at them when they got close to the shore. My friend got the other 5 out of the pen, trimmed the right wing and carried them out to the pond. These 5, I told him to release on the island, which he did. They finally all got together and settled down and played and preened.

Next batch (if ever) of ducklings will be raised right on the island.

Naw, you've got to do the next batch of ducks just the same...........only get the film crew working and have a video for all of us to enjoy. Look out Duck Dynasty, Brandi may put you guys out of work.

We need to come up with a catchy title....."Brandi's just Ducky" or "Ducks Gone Wild" or "Duck Island" or "Broom Training Ducks(and Booger)".......ah, maybe I need to work on this a little more.

Sounds like quite the adventure herding ducks!!! LOL

Are they staying out at the pond permanently now? I have four ducks and two geese. All paired up and nesting right now. We're waiting to see what Mother Nature brings us.

Brady and I, both, were wore out after the ducks settled down. They seemed to camp out last night at the pond's shore. When Luke shot a frog in the other pond, we heard them beating wings on water to escape the unseen noise. When I woke up this afternoon, I found them free ranging way in the back of my property, near my neighbors barbed wire fence, at the end of my other neighbor's PVC pipe post and wire field fence.

You can see where they are going by looking at the photo of the island in post # 274. They are going along the white post fence through high grass in a low spot. Back in the trees. They are having a blast back their finding all kinds of things to eat. They are eating floating catfish food when I throw it to them in the water.

We got over 6 inches of rain over the weekend. The ducks were loving it. They were floatingdown the overflow culvert, catching baby crawdads and riding the white water out the end. I was gonna get a video of it, but they stopped just as I got the camera phone out there. Anyway.........as you can see...........the pond is full and the fence catching debris made a two foot deep pond for them to play in. Later, after this photo was taken, the pond kept raising and went 6 inches over the spillway!

The ducks are mating now and watching them do it in the water is something to see. The poor hen is underwater with just her bill sticking out. Yes sir, it is quite a sight!
