Duckie

Dale was given a drake and that was what started it. I call him Duckie and Dale calls him Quackers. 
Duckie, the drake
He follows us all over the farm as long as the dogs aren't out of the chain link fence.He is always primping and pruning himself as he follows me.  I stop and tell him how handsome he is then he stops picking at his feathers and walks beside me. Do you see the pretty blue band on his leg?
Duckie, the drake
Dale wanted 3 to 4 hens for Duckie. He ordered the minimum amount which was 15. They don't sex ducklings. You need to wait until they are old enough then listen to their quack. 
9 week old ducklings
Dale has one must do for this week.  He needs to put tags on the hens. That way when I  sell off the rest of them, I  won't need to worry about selling one that we want to keep.
