Hi, my name is Traci. I’m 50 years old and an empty nester 
I have 2 dogs. A beautiful mutt named Scout and a beautiful Golden Retriever named Bailey Rose.
I live in the Boise area of Idaho.
I’m not “new” to chickens. I was raised with them. But I haven’t had them as an adult. My neighbor has chickens, my mom’s neighbor has chickens, my uncle breeds and sells silkies and polish... Dr Seuss babies IoI.
I figured I’d try ducks. They seem challenging IoI.
I’m incubating duck eggs. I have been voraciously studying all things duck. The little things are progressing well and should be pipping any day. They have just started wiggling and rocking.
I am currently looking for a bigger piece of land. I could move anywhere (for the first time since I was 18) literally
any.where. I’m currently a stay at home mom, with no kids at home.
I very much want a hobby farm. I’m an avid gardener and crafty person. Love doing things like fermenting foods and baking, canning. All animals.
I have 4 grown kids that I hatched and raised. And one grand daughter that is 3 months old.
Anyway thanks for having me. I have already learned so much. This is an amazing resource. Such a gift.
Attached is a photo of one of my duckings little baby paddles. I think this was around day 14 or 16. I’m so excited. I just sit and stare. Like a kid. Waiting for Christmas.
