Ohiofarmgirl's Adventures in The Good Land is largely a fish out of water tale about how I eventually found my footing on a small farm in an Amish town. We are a mostly organic, somewhat self sufficient, sustainable farm in Ohio. There's action and adventure and I'll always tell you the truth about farming.

I would have posted sooner but.....

I would have posted sooner but I was sucked into the vortex of cute that is baby ducks... ohmigolly... can you stand it? Milking took a long time today because these little cuties were toddling around.

Their first big day - seeing the Whole Wide World

How was I supposed to milk with all this cuteness toddling around the milk stand?

As I was taking one goat back and bringing the next up for milking, the Momma Duck took her babies on walkabout.

They thought the bridge to the hen house was awesome!

And Momma Duck was very proud of her babies.

They loved the green stuff.

It took a while but I slowly walked all the babies to the baby yard by the hen house. I felt confident that they were safe when I watched Momma Duck run two of the turkey hens off and then go after our barn cat. The hens actually have to be afraid of her! This afternoon I'll walk Momma Duck and her Eight back to her original nest. Its already been a big day for these little cuties.

And by popular demand... here's a quick pic of the pigz. They are huge! More on this tomorrow..

Baby ducks are way cuter than pigz.....but can you believe the bacons on these two porkers???

Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoying the sunshine! Happy Wednesday !!

They are the cutest little duckies, now I want some too. Robin wants a ducky and chick too. Those pigs look good and healthy..your doing a good job caring for them or should I say "fattening" them up :o)
