    A friend inherited off-grid property. I was already into the idea of homesteading and survivalism and had been building those skills sets for years. What started as a little bit of helping on the weekends turned into full time living. I didn’t think I could do it and it was hard.

    But now I know what I’m capable of and how much nicer life is when you live it. I’ve been back in regular society for a few years and my phone is still on ‘do not disturb’ mode all the time.

    We had pekin and they figured out a good food hack. We fed the flocks using gutters (then everyone can feed without fighting for space). But the pekins would straddle the gutter, stick their head in the feed with mouth open, and then flap forward and kick their feet to ‘ride’ the gutter and scoop up as much food as possible. It was highly effective.

    They ate 10x more than a regular duck and were 5x louder and always involved with any shenanigans going down. Fuck Pekin ducks.

    Not OP but totally sounds real.

    Ducks are like that for sure. They will certainly claim a spot. And eggs just kinda come out the egg hole sometimes. Especially if they aren’t able to secure a nest to lay on a schedule.

    I’ve seen eggs roll out while they are running past to get to their pond.
