A Day in the Life...DUCKS!!! / Saturday, October 31

Quiet Time...

...and then we started right into our adventure for the day...DUCKS!!!

Lanny started building the duck house first thing this morning and as soon as I fed Mom and Dad their lunch we headed to Knoxville to pick up our new feathered friends...

They were living in a small pen with limited accommodations and lots of mud...anyway, they are ours now and their entire world is gonna change!

So, to make a long story short, we picked them up and brought them home...introduced them to the chickens, who were not impressed...all the dogs except Skipper (he barked most of the day) were also unconcerned, but the ducks were in HEAVEN!!! I don't know if they'd ever really foraged, eat grass or run around such a big area... I am very happy that we brought them home...a real rescue!!

It took four of us to round them up and get them into their new house, but I think they are going to love it and I'd say after a day or two they will go right in...well, that's my dream. It was fun to herd them tho, so I won't mind if we have to do that now and then :-)

Now we are showered and ready for snacks and a movie... Wonder Woman!!!

Plans were drawn before dawn and he started right to work...


On our way to rescue some ducks!




The chickens and the ducks seem to be compatible...


The ducks stay very close to each other...


...the view from my kitchen window...


Willie is not as upset as I thought he'd be...


The chickens are in  their coop and the ducks are in their box and all is well in our little world...

Goodnight Y'all....
