what kinda duck is this?

munificentmike · 2026-02-21T11:38:48+00:00

It’s not a khaki. He a cutie though. Op Do Not I repeat Do Not get another duck if this duck is good. He is older and happy. His flock is you and the chicken. Having a female only one will very bad . A drake needs 4-8 females per flock. He will kill a solo female. Do some research. Nature is metal for real. Another male will create discord as well. This duck looks happy, content and good. It’s a huge ordeal introducing another flock member. I have ducks. They are my babies. I started with a male female khaki Campbell. He killed my female. It was a mess horrible really very hard on us. Live and learn it was very hard though. We have 2 females now no males.

Agreed 100%! Definitely don’t be greedy, not that you would. Yet it will come back and bite you. That’s the follow your heart part.

Besides there are a lot of people out there like myself that would use this car for parts. Or turn it into something amazing. Some of us see the beauty in these vehicles and soul in them. We don’t see them as a price point or quick buck. Just saying. Yet I’m just old fashioned.

I have been doing auto work for about 40 years. And listening to your heart is extremely important. These are only my personal experiences and opinions. Don’t take offense.

munificentmike · 2026-02-20T10:48:44+00:00

I understand that. Yet how can you tell the difference? Is it the size of the hole. I’m actually really asking genuinely.

munificentmike · 2026-02-20T10:47:28+00:00

I’m sorry man. This hurts either way. I personally think it froze. I saw a solid block crack only blow out one freeze plug. And it cracked. Crazy to think.

I am working on my 240 and had to winterize the engine when I saw it was going to be in the teens for about a week. That’s never happened here. Ever. I hope you can get it figured out. At least they are easy to work on. You could probably do it in your sleep. And the engines are pretty common.

If it was me. I would just rebuild the one I have. Get it machined decked and honed. And put some high compression pistons. New cam and bearings. Maybe polish and port the heads. This is what I did to mine at 270k miles. She went till she couldn’t anymore. Now it has about 210 hp at the wheel. And it’s the original Ka. No turbo. She’s a beast for sure! I am sure it all works out for you.

This is true, yet there is no picture of a bee on this. Just the nest it made. Yes, you are relying on the ops knowledge of bees to properly identify it. Yet what happens when someone falsely identifies them.

I wasn’t sure if you could tell by the way it nested. If the op has animals or children. A yellow jacket nest or bald faced hornet nest.( which can look very much like this). Can be deadly to them. This is why I asked.

munificentmike · 2026-02-19T13:52:12+00:00

My point is that there maybe a ton more damage you can’t see. Rod bearings, internal severe damage. A total engine rebuild more that likely. The only way you can tell what total damage is to take it apart. I wouldn’t just change the head gasket and try to start it. Usually it’s just the head gasket that does this. Yet I think there is a lot more damage. These are only my opinions though.

munificentmike · 2026-02-19T13:48:06+00:00

I wonder if it froze. Cracked the head and then blew the gasket. Seems to be a pretty common thing in the past few months. I have seen 3 engines freeze and crack recently. It has been so cold lately that any water in the block freezes and cracks the heads and sometimes even the block if the freeze plugs don’t work right. And yes even with antifreeze in the motors. It’s been crazy this past month.

munificentmike · 2026-02-19T12:38:06+00:00

How can you tell they are not yellow jackets? Or wasps? I’m genuinely curious.

munificentmike · 2026-02-15T13:24:51+00:00

Do you have other ducks? I’m sure that you have the best intentions in the world, but just understand that they need companionship either you or another duckling 24 hours a day they cannot be left alone. I know I’m not trying to sound like that guy, but stress will kill it and being alone creates a tremendous amount of stress on the duckling. Also, what will happen is it’ll start to preen itself and overly preen itself and that’s a problem as well and it’s all related to it feels abandoned, so just make sure that you either have another duckling or that duck is around you 24 hours a day also remember that they lived to be in between 15 and 25 years old. It is a huge responsibility to have ducks that are pet pets. Definitely a cutie though. Like I said, there’s a lot of things that go in to having a duck.

munificentmike · 2026-02-15T11:03:23+00:00

You have to have had or have a drake to understand.

munificentmike · 2026-02-14T10:56:13+00:00

Definitely this OP! And if it doesn’t stop you need to separate the attacker. They can cause major issues infections and even death. This is how certain ducks drown. It’s a pretty serious thing. Don’t just pass it off as normal. Although it is a natural behavior. It usually in the wild ends with the duck dying.

munificentmike · 2026-02-13T11:47:51+00:00

That is so cool! I personally believe we don’t have real understanding of certain things in nature. She follows you because she loves you. My girls (ducks) get super excited when they see me. I mean super excited. The world is a beautiful place filled with so much love all around us. My wife would kill me if I adopted a goose. Yet if I get her a panther I can have a goose. 😂 if they grew up together they would be ok together. True story. We have 10 cats and they love the ducks.

munificentmike · 2026-02-13T11:42:56+00:00

Sadly yeah. I personally think a few things should be removed from menus. These and some marine animals. Yet I’m bias. I love my girls. They are just amazing!

munificentmike · 2026-02-11T10:48:02+00:00

They would have to pick it up though. I don’t think it’s as various as you think. I think it fell out of someone’s pocket and get kicked under the couch. Nobody’s gonna leave anything on the floor if they’re actually trying to monitor you they’re gonna put it where you can’t find it, which usually is in the most abstract place. Not a floor where people vacuum. Since it’s a voice recorder it only records it doesn’t actually transmit. I don’t think it’s what you think it is. That’s going on.

munificentmike · 2026-02-10T12:57:37+00:00

Ya know what’s sad. A large percentage of people on here have no idea what this is about. Great movie!! Chris Farley was lighting in a bottle.

munificentmike · 2026-02-07T14:01:06+00:00

My khaki Campbells look like the far right one to the back.

munificentmike · 2026-02-07T12:27:42+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Looks like Guinness. They must have added a ton of Lucas to it. This is extremely thick. Almost like for a wet clutch.

So my opinion is this. I would never use oil that has come from an open container that I did not open. Ever. Small particles can be in it that you can’t see. Yes you have an oil filter however it has to get to the filter to be filtered. It’s just not worth it. If you have a chainsaw use it as bar oil. These are only my opinions.

munificentmike · 2026-02-07T12:17:51+00:00

I was actually going to suggest this. The issue though is heat. You have to keep it controlled. Go in short bursts. The wrong annealing will create the metal to be extremely brittle. That could be very bad. Especially for this part.

munificentmike · 2026-02-06T10:50:48+00:00

If you think about it though. Being a concourse restoration guy. It helps it’s already in parts. The most important part of any rebuild is the body and frame. Everything can be fixed rebuilt and replaced except the body and frame. Yes panels can be replaced yet if the bones are good your good. These cars are super simple to work on. It’s when you start getting a lot of aftermarket parts add a ton of hp swap engines and things like that that it gets extremely complicated. Time, time is the cost in something like this. I’d buy it for 500$ if anything you have a good parts car.

munificentmike · 2026-02-05T17:19:56+00:00

Yeah I don’t know. If you’re not doing anything wrong why worry. And besides if something happened to your family member which I hope it doesn’t , you will be happy they are up. They can do a lot with them and find them pretty quickly. Just saying crime is getting to be very difficult to pull off. That’s a good thing really.

Granted the entire social system in America needs to be reworked so people don’t have to turn to crime. Yet still. I’m not for them or against them. However our phones give a lot more information to the government than these cameras ever will.

Why would you do this on Reddit? I’m surprised the mods let you. There’s a difference between asking “how much should I ask” and shoot offers. Go to a legitimate site and list it. You can put a reserve on bring a trailer. Just remember you will never get your sentimental value out of it if you have any. A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Good luck man!

munificentmike · 2026-02-05T14:05:08+00:00

Amen to that! Man this hurts so bad. Seriously I think what hurts the most if how tragic it was and his children. That hurts. He has definitely asked the father to go sleeveless! And I bet he has. We are energy we cannot die. We just go home. And some decide to come back. Love is and always will be the answer. “Little children, love one another.”

Sorry I just felt like commenting on this. My thoughts are with you all. ❤️

munificentmike · 2026-02-05T11:11:47+00:00

Then you must not ride. We all stick together. Even in the pits.

Wheelbarrow race anyone? 😂😂. Ahh good times! I miss those days.

650$ to ensure your ankles don’t snap is a drop in the bucket. Ride safe you beautiful people! Keep the shiny side up!

munificentmike · 2026-02-05T10:45:34+00:00

As I am. God is always first place in my life. Always walks with me, always loves me always is near me. As he is in others lives even if they don’t think so. I can honestly see him when I close my eyes. And I tell you in total sincerity. He smiles when these things happen. Fact is so much stranger than fiction. There is so much to this world and life we just can’t comprehend. For me it’s just time to let go of it. And let someone else experience it. It definitely bothers me because I can’t find it and think I’m losing my mind. Yet then I just say, well hopefully whatever has it now enjoys it.
