Our New Ducks

 We got some Muscovy ducks for laying eggs. They look a little ratty, but we are just going through mud season here and they are molting.  Plus, the females that we got were with A LOT of males so there backs are a little roughed up.  I haven't had a Muscovy since I was a kid and the one we had would chase you because he just wanted to be near you and nibble you.  He really liked my mom because she saved him when he was half frozen when he was a duckling.  Fun memories.  We did have a female too, but she flew away.  These guys will be in the chicken tractor so no flying away for them.  :)

 Sarah loves the new ducks.  :)

 Our female ducks.  We really got lucky on the colors.  It's hard to tell, but the one on the far left is like a lavendar and white, then a brown and white, black and white and then mostly white one in front.

We got 3 males because they were a deal.  I'm thinking the largest white will find a new home. We really don't need 3 males for 4 females.  All of them are really laid back and friendly.  :)  Looking forward to eggs for eating AND hatching.  We'll need more layers.  :)
