khaki campbell
For the last 2 weeks the ducks have decided that it was much more fun to spend the day hanging around my house instead of theirs. Which on one side drive me crazy because ducks are really sloppy but on the other side they are so totally cute and funny ...
Yesterday morning I suddenly heard that really loud cacophony of couacks it made me rush outside ....to find out that the ducks had found the pool (abandonned by me I have to say) ...
Those were happy happy ducks, it was hillarious ... and they knew how to get in and out using the stairs ....
This morning as soon as I opened their coop they rushed toward the pool for some more fun ....
We got a new addition to our farm ... baby ducks ...
We got them through the mail, like for the baby chicks, but if the baby chicks were cute .. those are cute of cute !!!
They are Khaki Campbell and we are going to raise them for eggs production ...
They were very clumsy at first and dropped into their waterer when triing to drink ... we ended up with a bunch of wet ducks ... But quickly they got where the food was and snacking became their favorite with drink or should I say splashing around ...lol ....
When they eat they shake their body like to make the food goes down, it is very funny ...
here they are one week old already ... they got over the dropping into the waterers and are starting to be quite noisy.
Watercooler rush ... fresh water is always a hit ....
Happy hour ...
Like for the baby chicks, we keep them in a kidpool for the moment and we are working a lot to keep them somehow dry. With all the splasing it is not easy. Within 2 or 3 weeks we will start to pasture them.
They are getting the same USDA certified organic feed the baby chicks got and they seem to do great. Of course no medication or other scarry stuff ...
To be continued ....
