Finally got a picture of Twinkle.,
It was really hard to get her to hold still long enough to get a pic

Oh Deb! What a cuddle bug you've got there! Just adorable!

I wish she liked to cuddle, but she would rather run around biting DH's ankles and chewing Rocky's ears!

Ahaha! We have a lil dog, Coconut who will chase after you biting your feet, or the end of your pants. Such a silly girl! LOL

So pleased, I sold the single Runner duckling today. It kept busy getting the chick's water messed up. They wanted my Call duck, but I kept telling them it is a male and the duck they already had is a male. Of course, it will be a while before they can keep them together. At what age do ducks start laying eggs, and when do the males grow their curly tail feathers?
Tomorrow I have to get up early to take my neighbor for a colonoscopy. She takes care of the critters when I go away, so I am glad to do her a favor. Might as well get my feed while in Selmer. Today I assembled the frame of the next rabbit hutch. Had to dig a sheet of plywood out of the garage for the back, that was a chore. Got another water set up done for four more rabbit cages. The heat and humidity is already bad , I am dreading the next few months. I have so much to do, and between the heat and the bugs, I don't even want to go out there.

How many Calls do you have? I think I have about 20, some adults and some juvies of all different ages. They are so precious.

What does your water setup look like?

I know what you mean about the weather. I try to get out and feed everyone at 6-6:30 am while it's still fairly cool, but I have to get out several times during the heat of the day and check everyone's water.

I only have one call duck! I thought I hatched three chicks, and they turned out to be Swedes. There is a guy who raises them locally that says he will bring me some chicks. Right now the ducks just have a kiddie pool, but once I get the duck shelter done they can swim in our pond. He says he has some that are blue with white spots... sounds interesting.

Two of my Black Bibbed Call ducklings.

Awww, way cute! Today i worked a bit more on the rabbit cage, and started a pen for chicks coming out of the brooder. The heat is dreadful, keep stopping to cool off inside . I don't get up early, but I often go out and do things after the sun goes down.

I have to get up early to get the guys off to work, and fix their breakfast and lunches for the day. In the morning I need to move the geese to a new grassy spot. They've eaten up their current yard.... ; )
