We got little ducklings in April. Boy was that a surprise. They lived in the house for a week or so until I couldn't stand the stench anymore. They are the poop-in-est dang things I've ever seen! They had to live under a heat lamp for 6 weeks, so a friend gave Jared a larger rabbit cage than we already have ( which is currently occupied by Piglet the Rabbit) and they lived next to Piglet. Well, as they got bigger they got to wander the whole back yard. They were so fun and really entertaining for all of us especially when Rudy (the lab) was out chasing them! lol! But the time came they were a little loud to keep and so came the "release". We weren't sad, it was fun and exciting. Hayden's 2 Mallard's whom he named "joe" & "frank" weren't the greatest at escaping, couldn't get much air, but Leah's beautiful white ducks, "tina" & "butterheart" were definately speedy and beautifully escaped. We go over to Clearsprings to see them and they are still a little family. They are happy and so are we that we had such a fun time with them.
This pic is on Jared's facebook. Like he said, we only released the ducks, not the baby!
I could lie and tell you if this is "joe" or "frank", but I really have no idea!
I do know this is Tina. She was the BIG one. I've never seen a duck in the wild this big! I guess our lawn provided her lots of yummy caloric bugs!!
I love this pic and will always remember that moment.
