darling ducks...

i have such a heart for ducks

especially Pekin Ducks

so when our friends had a desire to raise some

as a part of a homeschool project

they asked if we would mind adding them to our flock..

we warned them

that some might end up in a pot by winter..

but

they'd sure be happy till that day!

because we LOVE Pekin ducks!!!

WE are a ducky kind of a family!

Every day can be a fun day when a duck is around!

One thing we noticed about the new additions

Snow White and her gang..

is that 

while they hang with our

Daisy, Poppy, & Lily..

they don't MINGLE with them..

in fact..

early on,

there was some

duck fights

who knew?  

seems Snow's quite the hottie…

and 

their was a disagreement about ALPHA position..

But who really wants to mess with Poppy?

Please…

He's a JUMBO pekin..

whilst Snow and her gang

are just Pekin…

what WERE the boys thinking?

lately all is fine

they take turn in the kiddie pool..

one group in..

then the other…

there goes Snow and her gang...

they have lots of fun!

we are SO excited to get the official BIG pond going ..

but we have to finish up the Duck Aviary first…

and THAT is fast running out of time to be done..

Winter IS approaching..

swim

or not..

lets test the waters..

oh yeah!

good times!

all done!

and their back ..

time for fluffing

preening and general grooming of self..

see how they are all together..

but still

a bit separate?

cracks me up!

I love ducks!
