Holy EIEIO... Yesterday afternoon, Baby, our rescue duck, arrived....only I'm pretty sure he's a goose. I can't find anywhere in my research that says ducks hiss.... Baby has a definite personality and hisses regularly. He spent the night in a cage in the duck pen. This morning I let him out and he towers over the pen...He knows his name and seems to be acclimating OK... The ducks seem to be amenable to his arrival but there have been no friendly games of Duck, Duck, Goose yet! I did however, have a ringside seat to some duck porn this morning. (That newly acquired knowledge..for me, will be shared in another blog.....it is beyond interesting!) For now, we'll see how they fare together....it hopefully won't be too long before we get the duck pond in and the news enclosures secured. Lucky ducks!
So, for anyone keeping count: That makes 10 hens, 4 ducks, 3 roosters, 2 turkeys, 1 goose and 1 peacock... (FYI...we're getting a chick later to room with "P" so she/he won't be lonesome! ) I'm pretty sure that my Dad is up there shaking his head and wondering where he went wrong!!! ;-)
