    My Ducks are Dirty

    I know that I always take pictures after they have dried off from a nice bath. I agree, it is very hard to keep the little guys clean. Mine are 6 weeks old now. Three of them: a cayuga, a rouen/mallard, and a khaki campbell. Good luck!

    If you have a dog.....

    Chihuahua is just fine with the girls, BUT the mini Dachshand is a killer and once he gets going the Fox Terrier is all for the fun and games, The Fox Terrier is also driving the girls nuts the way he runs around the chicken yard all day long.
