Our first ducklings
So on Tuesday we had 4 ducklings hatch, we've never had ducklings before, only got our ducks back in the fall so really it's all still very new to us. Ducklings seem to be doing wonderful, growing quick and getting braver every day, they love the pool and have been in it since day two splashing... -
Lame duck off her feed
Wow, those are different looking. I'm just at such a dilemma, we had some stormy winter weather last night and she was out and about in it, flicking in the pool, walking around in the thick of it.

Lame duck off her feed
New to duck keeping, got our first 3 back in October from a friend who was thinning his flock. My husband was going to take two but when he saw the gimpy one he felt sorry for her and figured I’d like her so took her as well. She was being picked on by the geese, leaving one of her legs badly... -
