And secondary for the eggs? But not for meat, or ever for culling?
I’m not judging anyone who does, but it does make me sad to hear about ducks being used for meat or culled, just because I’m so attached to mine. But I understand a lot of people raise them for the purpose of feeding their families, and that is totally okay, I’m just a sensitive baby lol.

Specifically looking for FB groups, or subreddits.

My neighbors tossed a fuck ton of bread into my yard, to feed my ducks without my permission.

Not gonna make a big stink out of it to them this time, cuz I get it. But PSA…

BREAD IS NOT GOOD FOR DUCKS.

They also tossed 2 whole ass sausages for our dogs Butters and Dee, but the ducks could have eaten those which isn’t good for them.

Just trying to figure out what the thought process here was 😭

Man they did not have to go so hard with the finale, but I’m so glad they did.

My family is grieving the loss of my father in law. My husbands niece (grown adult, older than me) suggested I watch The Good Place.
I told her to watch SFU but warned her the finale made her uncle (my husband) and I cry. Guess we’re gonna swap shows now. I’ll let y’all know how she likes SFU

My father in law was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and heart failure 6 years ago. He was in the hospital for a month, came home on oxygen. It was right after my husband and I bought the house next to him and my mother in law.

He was the best grandpa to my 5 year old and 7 year old daughters. Even when he wasn’t feeling well, he took them to dinner and the park every Friday. He let them raise his chickens with him, taught them how to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. He made the most out of the past 6 years, even though he was a grumpy, stubborn old man for a lot of it. God, if I could go back and do things differently I would. I’d be more understanding, more patient.

June 20th, 2026 he was admitted to the hospital. Couldn’t catch his breath or maintain a healthy oxygen level, even while on oxygen. Hospital staff let us know he had at most 1 week left, so we all spent as much time as we could at the hospital with him. My daughters got to say goodbye when he was still in decent condition. They brought him a card they made. He had a picture of them on his little hospital tray.

June 25th, 2026 around 1:30 am, we all received a text from him saying goodbye. He said he wanted to pass in the hospital alone with my mother in law. They removed all oxygen support about 2 hours previous to that, and my mother in law said he passed peacefully.

He was cremated with the card my daughters brought him in the hospital.

It doesn’t feel real. One day he was walking around fine and dandy, the next he is in the hospital being told he’s going to die. It’s so unfair. I hate this.

This quote has been helping me through my father in laws death, he died a week ago today. One of my pet ducks died last night too, and yeah some people will say “who cares, it’s a duck” but he was fully domesticated, sweet, and brought so much joy to my life.

I think if I try hard enough, I can feel my father in laws energy around me. Maybe I’ll feel some ducky energy too, who knows.

This is what my 7 year old daughter said after her grandpa died yesterday. I couldn’t believe it. She has never seen the show, I don’t watch it around her or her sister since most of it isn’t exactly kid friendly.

Immediately thought of Nathaniel Sr. especially since my mother in law is very much a Ruth.

Anyway, just wanted to share. Hug your parents, your in laws, everyone.
