Duckles,duckles.....

Due to the current imbalance of male vs. female ducks on the farm, Mike had obtained 8 new Campbell females. These adorable khaki ducklings have taken residence in a horse water trough in Mike and Becky's garage. With daily handling, "Daddy Duck" as we affectionately call Mike has his brood following him all around his garage and back yard. "Peep, peep, peep" you hear them call when they hear their "Daddy's" voice....knowing that shortly his gentle hand will appear offering them yummy treats of bread. It will be fun watching these girls grow. Once their primary feathers have appeared, they will be introduced to the pond and the rest of the flock.
