:\ only 11 that I could see we're developing, 2 looked like an early death.

I skipped so many pages and I give up trying to keep up. I stopped at the page about wanting ducks. I recomend Muscovy's. I simply love them. The meat is unbeatable. They grow fast and do extreemly well on free range. I butcher out at full feather. That is usually 12-14 weeks. They usually weigh around 5-8lbs dressed. I ferment the feed so it cost less to fed out and they grow a little faster. They have more dark meat ,are good mothers and hatch huge clutches.




These ducklings are 12 weeks old. (Drake in the middle)

Congrats to the winners of the posting contests!

I was not home yesterday to post...we had our 4-H kids out Christmas shopping for a family of 4 (ages 8, 9, 10 & 12).
The mother (addict) dropped them off at a family members house with the clothes on their backs and said "I'm DONE!"

The family member asked for help, but their church is too small, too many unemployed, to help.
We heard about the situation, and we took our 14 member group out to get clothing, pj's, toys, and a treat for each child. These kids fund raise and work year after year for their money, and instead of a Christmas party for themselves...they spent $240.00 of their hard earned money on kids they do not know! All they DO know is that now, they are having a better Christmas because of them! I am so blessed by these kids!
