We think the black one is a Cayuga and the light one is crested. We don't really care about the eggs so much as possible slug control. I was just hoping we don't have two males in case they might fight. They are completely different personalities. The black one is very friendly.

We don't know if they are boys or girls. Hopefully they will eat some of the slugs that keep eating my plants.

We took all of the red rangers to be butchered this week so that helped a little, but a couple of wild mallard drakes have the ducks all stirred up and in this state they've learned that they can get over the fence. There's no stopping them. Thsi morning they were on the road which was the last straw. Neighbors heard quite a bit of fowl (ha!) language out of my mouth. They're currently on lockdown until i can figure out what to do with them. They can't stay here. Ugh! Stay cool today.Cottontailfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603586688895863727noreply@blogger.com
