Dirty Ducks!

[mbar]

My sister had a duck that laid eggs on the side of her pool. After the eggs hatched, they left.

Well, it's 5:00 pm and so far no ducks...could it be the pink hippo????

The dog idea is worth a try if they come back. However, they seem pretty content to keep swimming in the pool despite my three screaming children running around in the backyard. Maybe they feel safe b/c it's above ground and it has those side thingys on it.

My children broke the egg, despite several warnings not to touch it and it was not in a nest or anything, just right out on my metal pool deck. It almost seemed like an accidental drop ???

Well, see if they stay away through the evening...

Okay, either the ducks took my advice and moved to the pond a few miles away or my pink hippo smiling up in the air has scared them off once and for all.

Duck meat is really good.

Get a BB gun at least and pop'em to let them know they are not welcome'd

Had three ducks come every Spring for years and play on the cover before we opened the pool. For some reason this year they insisted on floating and crapping in the pool. The lowest powerd Red Ryder BB gun stings them in the ass.They still come around and sit on the house roof but stay out of the pool

Try a fake snake or a water fountain that'll keep them wet.
