Raising ducks.

Well, we are farmers now.  We bought 6, 1 day old ducklings yesterday.  They are so sweet and cute, and are living in our family room for a week or two.

this is the rubber bin they are in for now.

 We have a barn, with a room set up for them to move into when the weather warms up.  I hope all goes well with them.  It's a part of life though, living out here where I am that the foxes are around all the time.  My neighbor had thirty guinea hen last year, and only 6 survived after the season.  So I hope for a better turn out.

We have a pond on our property, and I will be building them a floating house for there safety.  I will keep my blog updated on there life and growth.

They all loved being snuggled into my robe.

They are Peking ducks.  They should be tall slender, white ducks.  So far my dog is being nice with them.
