Here a quack, there a quack...

The addition of ducks to the farm has added much life. We bought them from two places; one set we bought were coloured, and the other white. No racial overtones,just telling it as it is ;-).

They are such timid creatures. For the first couple of days, they would not budge from a nook they found for themselves. Slowly, they started moving around a bit and then they discovered one of our rainwater storage tanks. What a joy to see them splash around. Interestingly, while they enjoy swimming in the water, they also keep the surface clean of all mosquito eggs and other flies, so that's an additional usefulness.

I know we are not supposed to count the eggs beforehand, but we do look forward to some duck eggs in a few weeks from now!
