Hey, BYC. It’s been a long time! Now, most of my posts and updates that the ducks are older are on instagram (@sadieandskipper) as well as our farm-to-be account (@miniacresfarm). Feel free to visit us there! :) Meanwhile, the ducks are over a year old now and are still as sweet ever! Not a day...
Some Time Later: eggs, legs, and snow
It's been about three months since my last update and things have been great in duck world. Living life happily, one swim and one meal at a time.
Sadie and Skipper experienced snow for the first time this winter. Their confusion and sled-like walk through...

Fast Growers

On another note, they are turning into quite the little...
About a week later...
Sadie and Skipper are doing well. This past week has been full of new adventures: Trips to the grass, new toys, and deeper pools. They have become lap sitters quite easily and I love it! After bath time, when they are sleepy, and sometimes just because they will pull up...
Welcome Home
We picked up our two ducklings at the post office last Wesnesday (August 10th) at 6:30AM. We were so worried about them and were overjoyed to find two healthy, bouncy ducks in our box. Bringing them home and getting them into the brooder was nerve-racking. They chirped so loud and...
I am not sure what topic to put my "duck diary" under but "Ducks" does seem to make sense. Haha!
I thought it would be neat to begin a thread to keep track of my growing welsh harlequin ducklings. I will post updates and pictures and you all are more than welcome to join in! Enjoy!
