Ducks Got Big!
I can't believe how fast these ducks have grown! They are huge!
For now they're living in the pig ark and a small gated pen around them.
We moved them into a bigger pen the other day and it was far easier than moving chickens! The kids loved herding them as they waddled along (the ducks not the kids waddled).
They'll have the run of this whole 1/4 acre pen when they get bigger, but already they like getting out and doing a runner. Good job this breed can't fly!
My boy seems to have taken to them the most, he spends hours out there sitting on the gate talking to them.
We're currently trying to decided if we should hatch out another batch or not. That way we could have a breeding trio for next year and not have to buy in eggs, which can work out expensive.
What do you think? Next hatch should be more ducks or more chickens? Both would be to produce a breeding flock next year.
