May. 4, 2006 - Make Way For Ducklings!
The ducklings had a busy day today in their new home, one of the
chicken arks in the backyard. There they can enjoy the sunshine and
fresh air outdoors--and the rest of us can all enjoy the fresh air
indoors. Did I mention that ducklings are smelly when kept indoors?
Having raised both chicks and ducklings, I would have to say that
ducklings trump the chicks in the smelly category. I cleaned their box
daily and changed their water at least three times daily, but they
still were smelly. They also grow bigger faster than chicks, so they
ran out of room more quickly indoors. Anyway, they love their new
accommodations, and so do I.
Five of the ducks went on a field
trip to the Brownie Girl Scout's troop meeting, where they were quite a
hit! The girls had a lot of fun holding the ducklings, and my
ordinarily shy 1G8 enjoyed talking about her pets. She has even named
four of them after the different age levels of Girl Scouts: Daisy,
Brownie, Junior, and Cadette. Obviously, she takes her scouting quite
seriously.
