Well, the ducks have decided they like George's coop.
They hang out in there a lot when George and his girls are out running the yard - and last night I had a hard time convincing them that they weren't allowed to sleep in there.
on the other hand, all the commotion with me arguing with that little girl duck brought the chickens to watch the show and I didn't have any problem putting the chickens in the coop last night.
This may work to my advantage if I get another coop built, maybe I can make a Duck Cell in it for the ducks, so I won't have to worry about them when it gets super stormy in the winter.
I may have to name the little girl duck "Bossy" cause she bosses the chickens, she bosses the little drake, and she tries to boss ME
She is adorable, but she sure doesn't mind giving you her opinion.
Reminds me of my mother in law (may she rest in peace...) - except for the "adorable" part. Although my MIL
was a very small woman - I swear she hands the size of a 4th grader - teeny tiny hands. Come to think of it, her family - even her husband - all called
Her "The Boss" (they were half afraid of the woman
she had quite the "strong" personality
)
I took MIL's attitude for 5 years in silence, then one day I had it out with her (verbally) in her own backyard, - I won't go into details on a family board
but suffice it to say I left her speechless, and that was not an easy thing to do. It ended with me telling hubby he could be in the car within 5 minutes or he could stay with his Mommy because I was outta there.
Three days later she showed up on
my doorstep apologizing to
me - we got along great after that. (I guess no one in the family had ever stood up to her before.) I kinda miss the old war horse.
can't wait til tonight so I can get me some Quail (and maybe some duckies if anyone has them reasonably priced)
