I am so mad !!

Arrg - I'm so mad I could scream !! Phoenix's ducks have finally gone to laying and we had 2 pretty little eggs last night. Well this morning when I went out to see if the momma was setting on them I discovered that they were gone :( Phoenix is going to be so upset when he gets home from scool today . I figure that it was a coon who stole the eggs, now I have to spend a good bit of the day coon proofing the pen. I hope the little bugger comes back tonight because if he does he's in for it !

More Baby Ducks

Phoenix got 3 new baby ducks yesterday . I had giving him some money for helping out with the dogs. He bought these 3 little babies for 9 $ . They are Mallard/Muscovie mix. Very cute little things though very shy as they won't let me get very close to take any good pictures.Phoenix's Topknot ducks are growing fast , they have all of thier adult feathers in now. Pretty soon I'll be having to work on a new pen for the ducks as I think they will outgrow this one soon as it is only 12'x12'.

Phoenix's Ducks

These are Phoenix's babies. He got them as payment for working for a friend of ours. They are supposed to be some fancy purebred breed - can't remember the name now though , crested something or another. Anywho Phoenix is so proud of these little buggers, guess we are now in the duck raising business. He will be entering these guys in the local fair in October.
