Case in point? Now that we have our flock of geese and ducks pared down to our breeding stock (that's until we find out which ones will actually breed and which might turn out to be fluffer-offers), I want to name all of them. We had previously named the goslings we got from Oklahoma (using names from the musical), but for some reason (too many of them, I guess) none of the others. Now I shall go whining to my dear husband, "Susan named her ducks so why can't we name our web footed friends? Huh? Huh? HUH??!"Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-36178316995635654732016-12-08T21:07:46.244-05:002016-12-08T21:07:46.244-05:00Susan,

Are any of them going to freezer camp when they get older? <br />Dimples.....that's my girl :-P One of my old nicknames when I was a little one. <br /><br />There's always something going on outside with critters causing a ruckus or an uninvited guest causing a change in ones schedule. Stay warm, and enjoy your birds.<br />Hugs,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-50124006562902520732016-12-08T11:42:35.597-05:002016-12-08T11:42:35.597-05:00Sue, they really do have their own little idiosync...Sue, they really do have their own little idiosyncrasies.

I did get attacked by a Mama Muscovy this past summer however, and I wasn't really near her ducklings. She drew blood and was going to make a second pass but I fended her off with the lid of the feed can. I still love them though.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-44399189189187191432016-12-07T12:17:10.020-05:002016-12-07T12:17:10.020-05:00Peckito looks like a Renaissance dandy in his yell...Peckito looks like a Renaissance dandy in his yellow tights.
