Confused drake?
« on: April 12, 2012, 13:28 »
My Khaki Campbell drake has 2 ducks for 'company' but just lately keeps chasing my Embden goose!  :wacko:  :ohmy:

The gander chases the drake off but somehow injured his leg a couple of days ago so isn't so spritely at the moment.  I have seen the drake try to grab the back of the gooses' head presumably in an effort to mate   :wacko:

Is this 'normal'?  ???

I have read about them getting over familiar with humans if they have had plenty of contact when growing up as they see them as their flock.

Could it be that he was brought up with geese and thinks he is a goose?   :wacko:

My drake also mounted my chickens, even the bantams, so i seperated them.  My crested females have no pom poms left from where he has been holding on to them  ::) ::)
