While I would love guineas my neighbors might come after me with pitchforks. I should mention.....I am almost smack dab in the middle of town. :lau

So am I, no guineas here either. They do like bugs, though! I do want to get some ducks, though. Even if they are a little loud. They could be herded into nice hoops over certain garden areas I have in mind. Some lawn must die, first. I am sure they would do that too, but husband does not want to wait! Who am I to complain if he wants to hire labor to take out that dying lawn?

Some quackers are quieter than others. My old ducks.....the cayuga were nearly silent followed by the silver appleyards. The loudest was the pekings. The Swedish blacks were mid ground.

These Welsh harlequin aren't bad at all. I get the early morning "Hey human! Fresh water NOW please!" That happens just before sun up. There are a few random QUACK Quack quack's throughout the day but way better than the egg song.

I really like the cute little call ducks but they are deliberately bred to be LOUD.
 
Good morning! First thing I had to pull a section of the fence back up it was squished down.
Iv'e had to do that at least a dozen times this spring and summer always the same spot, iv'e started to check it before I do anything else out there.
I'm going to have to replace it the wires have popped due to multiple squashings.
I know one culprit is that goat, deer are probably doing it after dark im tired of it either way.
No idea why they have to kill my fence they could go around. 🤬

Good morning everyone. :frow
Have a great day!

Going to be hot hot hot all week here.
Looks like beans and tomatoes need picked again.
The stepson and his wife arrive this evening. Making chimmies and green chili for supper. Other than that it is the panic cleaning thing today.

I had pekins in the past, and they were loud. Your silver appleyards were quieter? They are interesting. I have ordered the season-end mixed ducks from Sandhill Preservation for the end of the month or first week in Sept. I am hoping it has some of the silver appleyards included!
