Hello

[Kailene]

Hi I'm Kailene. I'm new to this community and am hoping to learn more about my ducks. I have 2 female ducks. A Rouen, Howard, who is laying currently and a Black Runner, Kurt. Yes they both have male names. I got them when they were about 2 weeks old and I couldn't have a duck and not name it Howard. And I liked the name Kurtwood. So that's how they got their names. Then found out they are female and the names just stayed. This will be my first winter with them. I live in Northeast Ohio and plan on leaving them in their own. I do have a heat lamp, a heated water bowl, and an enclosure for them. I also plan on tarping off there pen to help with the wind.

So I'm here to learn more about my girls and possibly down the road add to my ducks.

I'm sure Howard and Kurt don't care that they have masculine names!
