Duckies!

There are duckies on the farm... I've been negligent in updating the farm information so here's the duck update in a nutshell.  Last year we inherited 3 Muscovy ducks, one male and two females.  We had a lot of trouble at first with animals around the farm stealing their eggs and then eventually killing one of the females.  From her last clutch however we rescued two eggs.  Both hatched but only one survived into adulthood.  My guy was reading on the internet that Muscovy meat tastes like steak so he jokingly named her 'Sirloin'!  She's not even a year old but just had her first clutch.  Of the 15 eggs 7 hatched and 5 have survived... She's a great mom.

Here she is when she was little:

She was just learning to float in the sink.

Here she is pulling on my pants let letting me know she wants some food...and me feeding her...

Here she is all grown up and waddling around the farm with her brood.
