3 of our youngsters finally got feathered out enough we could release them. From grow out pen to pond was quite a step for them. They had a blast diving and swimming around.

Speaking of eggs, we have found three in 12 inches of water near the edge of our pond. Apparently they are laying at the edge and the eggs are rolling into the water. I am pretty sure not even ducks can swim that young.

So I picked up 8 Pilgrim geese today. I get them home (sort of but it's a long story) and I'm acclimating them to being handled. There's a guy bailing hay in the field and sees me with the geese. And just out of the blue asks me if I want a bunch of Mallard ducklings. Well HE!! yeah I want...
