We have been waiting patiently in our home to bring our six little Khaki Campbell ducklings into our family! Since we moved to New Hampshire seven years ago, we have wanted to get chickens, but then we read about how much better suited ducks are to our chilly, wet and sometimes bitter cold weather. They are also better able to fight diseases and lay more eggs- which is why we want them.
SO, today we finally brought home our little ladies! Here is the video:
If you’d like to learn more about ducks, please read this awesome book which has become our duck bible- Dave Holderread’s Raising Ducks.
We even let them have a wee two minute swim- boy, do they love the water! As long as they dry off and stay warm, a few minutes won’t hurt. Aren’t those great smiles of girls learning about life?
My duckling, Dotty
Yes, we all are wearing big smiles today!
awww! They were soooo tiny and now they’re as big as Missy! lol
