What's the temperature where you are???

Hope you maintain your power; really a bad time of the year to be losing electricity, especially when it's needed to keep the heaters running. We had a whole-house backup generator installed when we had our house built. Hope you stay safe and warm.

Everything is good.

We got 8 inches of beautiful heavy wet snow and it’s melting nicely this time, yay!

Thank you! Well, let’s see that’s blossom in the front. She’s a silver apple yard. The two runners on either side of her are mixed breed 3/4 runner and 1/4 Cayuga.
Behind them is my black Swedish Elsa, and my Cayuga, Olive. And then there’s one of my Pekins and my silver Swedish, another runner mix, and there are 10 more ducks around here somewhere lol I have a Welsh Harlequin, a golden 300, a white layer, two khaki Campbell’s, one Ancona, and more mixed runners

Blossom is so pretty! Theyre all so cute! Do you do chickens too or just ducks?

I'm ALWAYS duck curious and havent been able to get myself to take the leap to adding them to my chickens. Ive just heard so many horror stories of how loud and gross and messy they are but then look at pictures like yours and they just look like little angels to me

I have three pilgrim geese!! and also I had these three chocolate Orpington hens up until recently I rehomed them ,, with all that snow we had last month and ice, and no covered run for them just a small coop, it was too much extra for me and I wanted them to have a better life. Someone less than a mile away with a beautiful big farm has them now. Perhaps in the future if I build a big covered run, I will get chickens again. But this time I will get tiny ones instead of giant ones lol. The chocolate orps have extra super fluffy butts that need to be cleaned up and to me that was much messier than any duck. Ducks bathe themselves in water, so they are always clean, but chickens roll around in dirt. lol Ducks rarely have problems with parasites, but chickens have to be given dewormers and parasite treatments and seems like they get crop problems and have to stay out of the cold rain and I think their poops are much stinker than duck poop. So for me, Ducks rule. Chickens are beautiful and most of them are very sweet, but I think they’re more work than Ducks . And geese , they are supreme! they’re royalty actually ,,at least they sure act like it. lol King Charles and Queen Trudy and their daughter Princess Hazel are my bestest buddies

That might be the most convincing argument towards having ducks I've ever heard! My wallet is definitely not happy with you, but the rest of me is! Haha

Ive also been turkey curious as well

I had turkeys a long time ago and they were a lot of fun. They were also delicious.
