my little monsters LOVE to go outside.
i have taken them out twice.
i pen the dogs up and just sit in the grass with them.
the baby geese graze and the ducklings walk around with them looking puzzled as to why they would eat that yucky stuff.
then they get frisky and everyone runs around flapping their ""wings" until they get tired and plop down and the geese eat while being lazy .
and whenever they hear a scary noise of see something the geese run to me and tell me about it . they get real close stick their necks out real far and look at me talking softly about the scary thing. while i reassure the,

yesterdays scary monster was the guineas who were a good 30 feet away but still noisy and scary

That sounds too cute!! My big ducks love the outside, but my goslings would not leave my lap. And if I tried to leave pen, they freaked out, crying and trying to squeeze through fence to follow me.

Have not tried to take our younger ducks out yet. We may try to do it next week with them.

not sure how the willl be in a pen.
ut i would like them to be outside when its nice out without me having to be there.
and the dogs hate being penned up but i know how fly is.
he will try to herd them back to the house.
and i DO NOT trust the cat .

and i think grandma is finally getting into the bird thing with me lol.
the day my goslings were due here she called on lunch break to see if they got here ok .
monday she called to see how the call duckling was on lunch break.
she asks how my eggs are doing in bator and how many eggs i got . lol
that or she gave up and just indulges me .


grandpa on the other hand hates it
he says what kind of a 19 year old is more interested in animals and ducks and that crap (insert more colorful word)
rather than friends and stuff.

Tell him "one who has better things to do with her time, and better role models."

CG: I'm more interested in my animals than friends too. Friends end up makin you mad at some point. LOL.

I would be perfectly content moving far far away where no one can stop in and visit me. I'll just stay all alone with my poultry and my kids.

There is someone stopping by every day here. Drives me NUTS. Because I stay at home.. I guess they think.. "Oh she'll be home."

Thanks for the call letting me know you're coming.
