Ducks in the Laundry .....

Well I  had to buy a bigger pen and rearrange things to make space for Winter quarters for the rapidly growing ducklings..they may be only a few weeks old but boy have they grown fast!




They are a very friendly pair, love a treat (Lettuce) and it's sounding like we have a least one duck (fingers crossed) as Quackers seems to be starting to Quack!

  1. Still looking cute. Must be odd hearing quacks coming from your laundry. Have you got them full time now, or do they go into school?

    1. Nope full time at home..they outgrew the aquarium that was their home in the Chemistry lab (much to the students disappointment) We have promised to send in video updates!

    1. aren't they!
      I have to confess that in spite of coming from a farming background ever since keeping ducks I haven't been able to eat them at all, ever ...they have such charm.

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
