    First egg!!

    This morning I was shoveling out the duck house to put in some clean, extra straw because it's going to be super cold tonight, when out came this little thing on my shovel! I was so surprised.

    Rounding up the waddles

    How do y'all get your ducks into their house for the night? I got my first duck a week ago (have 2 now) and every evening I have to chase them and grab them and put them in their house. Will they eventually do it on their own?

There were 5 but two had injured legs and we took them to a bird rescue. I have been feeding them for about 6 weeks now, they know me, come...
