Week one with our newest family members.

"Duck Duck" and the Duck Brothers:


"Chubs"



and "Captain Skinny Pants"



We bought 3 ducks from the feed store on monday. I read about Indian Runners and wanted some of those but they only had 1 left so we also bought Duck Ducks two fellow inmates, the Khaki Campbells. both breeds are supposed to be naturally good at prolific in laying eggs. mmmmmmmmmmmmm..... so now the gamble is waiting for them to grow up and see if any are female.

are you raising food, food producers, or pets? (or all three?)

That is the greatest thing I've heard all day- I used to go to the feed store (when we lived in Minnesota) to play with the little ducks and chicks. I always wondered if anyone went and picked any out as pets... love the names you guys chose :)

Reuby, we are raising them for all 3, it kind of depends on which ones/how many turn out male. We'd really like eggs, but ducks are good in your garden because they eat garden pests and keep you entertained while you are weeding.

Hey, Reuby is my name. And the way you named those ducks makes me want to drive up there and hug you guys.
