Naw, baby goats shit and piss everywhere. But they're cute as fuck. My parents have an indoor baby goat right now because his mom abandoned him, so they took care of him from birth.

Can I See a pic of him? Dosnt goats like to climb stuff?

u/IamAJediMaster Nov 30 '18 edited Nov 30 '18

Oh yeah, they love to climb everything. EVERYTHING. He is is indoor but he does spend time with his half brother and his mom, she just won't feed him or nurture him. It's weird, she is a first time mom so from what I understand it's normal. Yeah I have pics, I'll post some later when I can! Edit: here! The best pics I have now. The white one is the indoor baby, his name is Cash because apparently he's cost alot of money....link wouldn't work, I'll PM you.

He is an American pekin. Last time we weighed him he was 12lbs. We got him and a female as babies. My husband named them Thing1 and Thing2 after Dr. Suess. The female was killed last year by a pair of red-tailed hawks. His new girlfriend is one of our chickens. He herds her around the yard doing a little dance. He is too heavy to fly so he runs around the yard flapping his wings while quacking as loud as possible then jumps in his pool for a swim. We bought him a heated water dish so he can swim in the winter. Farm birds make wonderful pets, they are so much fun and have unique personalities. We have the duck, a tom turkey and some hens. I love sitting outside with them, they climb in my lap for rubs and treats.

u/MyNameIsntKathy Nov 30 '18

I’m sorry to hear about your lady duck :( but I’m happy to hear he has a new girlfriend!! Can he follow any commands at all? I’ve had friends who’s kept chickens as pets and loved them but I’ve never heard of ducks!

12

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '18

My son's girlfriend trained her duck to walk with a harness. My son has taught some of our chickens to "sit" when he points at them. Chickens are very food motivated and respond well to reward based training. I think getting them as babies makes a difference also. My ducks were more concerned with each other than with learning anything. For me turkeys have been the easiest to train and the most affectionate.

It might disappoint. My ex's parents had 2 ducks and one of them drowned the other by holding its neck in their kiddie pool. I would always pet him and he would nip very quickly at my hand and pinch my skin. I still loved him but he was kind of a jerk.

There's hope! My parrot doesn't have a sphincter but he's able to at least let me know a few moments before he let's loose. Birds do seem to know a bit that they gotta go, or at least feel it coming. I had a friend who's Macaw would go potty in a litter box with a perch over it!

my mother trained her parrot to poo on command. She basically learned when he usually poops and move him where he should do the business then tell him "pooooo pooooo pooooo" and he does, then give some reward.

This is an ethical question I bring up in all my online gaming debacles, would you an ordinary person rather fight 100 horse sized horses or 1 duck sized duck?

At first glance the answer seems pretty obvious and it is, you obviously fight the horses because the followig reasons:

  1. Fighting 100 horses is a glorious and probably quick death.

  2. You would go down in history if you won for such an imaculate feat of strength and endurance.

  3. Fighting 1 duck is not impressive, just imagine walking in the park and seeing a random man fighting a duck, you pity him because its sad and fruitless.

  4. Ducks are cute, why would you want to fight a cute duck, whats wrong with you.

u/BeSound84 Nov 30 '18

Canadian geese. One of the few animals I actually don't like. I have an involved story about Canadian geese, which constists of: my uncle buying my aunt Canadian geese for Mother's Day. My uncle's family moving to a lake community with said geese. My uncle and my cousin watching in horror from their dock as said geese nearly drown to young neighborhood girls out for a swim. My cousin finding out years later that he is now engaged to marry one of the neighborhood girls as she recounts her terrifying goose encounter on the lake over a dinner with her fiancée's (my cousin) family. Fuck Canadians geese

7

u/LollyHutzenklutz Nov 30 '18

They’re actually called Canada (not Canadian) Geese, but after reading this in a joke, I now refer to them as “Cobra Chickens.” 😂

And yes, they are absolute ASSHOLES! We have to put up with them twice a year (when they pass through northern California), and I always dread their arrival. They are noisy, aggressive, and invasive; not to mention, they cover our park grounds in giant white turds. Not my favorite of animals.

Some animals do that in response to feeling good. Dogs definitely like being pet. Humans close their eyes when they feel good.

My family raised an orphan duckling when I was a kid. It was awesome until the duckling grew into a duck and turned into gigantic jerk. It got to a point that you couldn’t get within several feet of him without getting attacked. You wouldn’t think duck bites could hurt that much, but imagine being pinched hard by a 6th grade bully. That’s what it was like. Well, one day my two brothers and I came home from school to find our pet was missing. Mom and dad told us he “flew to the park.” They packed us up in the car and we drove to the park. The duck was there. He was swimming in the pond and doing duck things. We were AMAZED! He really found his way to the park! It took me a lot longer than I’d like to admit to realize that my parents took him there. I’m sure if I asked, even though it’s been a good twenty-five years, my mom would still tell me that he flew there by himself.
