Hiya. Nice to meet you.Hi ! My name is Heather, I am from NJ but live in Sierra Madre, CA (near Pasadena) with my husband Scott, our 2 dogs Coach and Hannah, a water turtle named Jekyll, a ball python named Cobie and our recent addition-- an adorable drake Pekin named Georgie. Georgie's mate, Daisy, a mallard, is joining us this weekend as well.
(1) Are you new to ducks / when did you first get ducks? yes although it turns out my mother had a duck as a kid and so did her father! We adopted Georgie a week ago from Janie, a wonderful woman than i now consider a dear friend. Her landlord gave her notice that he will eventually build more homes on his property, meaning she needed to start finding a new home for herself and animals. I saw the re-homing duck ad on a CL and soon we were building a duck pen!
(2) How many ducks do you have right now? 1, soon 2, possibly more
(3) What breeds do you have? see above
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? searching online for info on ducks since i am totally new to this
(5) What are some of your other hobbies? i'm an artist/illustrator, secondary level public school art teacher, union leader, professional pet sitter. i love spending time outdoors, at the beach, at a lake, hiking, with my dogs, reading, watching movies
