I have 2 Buffs and love the dickens out of them... But those Ancona's are sure gorgeous makes me want to add another breed too.

I mean... my plan to get my husband to move to our property in VT full time is to just add 2 ducks every 6 months until we run out of space and have to sell our house...

Awesome plan let me know how that goes.

So funny

I love those names @jennybvcr

While I’m obviously a little partial, I am really enjoying the Anconas. Though I don’t have a ton of first hand experience with any other breeds, so take that with a huge grain of salt!

Been trying to work on the spot for the coop and had a major DIY fail tonight. Thought I had “leveled” the area “well enough” ... Clearly that was not the case! Total lopsided disaster!

I guess that’s what happens when the Paver Wizard (aka my partner) has to work late!

We went on our first short trip away and everyone survived ... I think the middle one is possibly quacking now?

 

[Miss Lydia]

I heard some quacks

 

[littlecollier]

Yayyyy! Still crossing my fingers that we end up with an appropriate ratio.



Also, just a silly couple screen shots from the Ducko-cam ... I love how they’re always lined up from Big to Little to Littlest.

Still thinking Heuy, Dewey and Louie regardless of gender. Got to see if I can sell my partner on it though.

Got the paver foundation laid tonight, this time it’s actually level (though I miss calculated and had to add extra pavers at the end so now its not a pretty pattern but I’m so exhausted I don’t even care...)

Not sure the ducks will care, but I’m pumped to be done with Step 1!

Did some doodling and I think we are just going to take the current hoop shed apart and use all of the materials to make a slanted roof coop that opens onto a semi-covered run I ordered ... Yay! More work!

And because I know people enjoy duck photos more than scribbles ...

Looking good!
