“Your justice is as solid as God’s mountains. Your decisions are as full of wisdom as the oceans are with water. You are concerned for men and animals alike.” (Psalm 36:6)
There were already plans afoot to re-stock chicks and, possibly, ducklings here at The Herbal Hare Homestead. Yesterday, after spending the day with a friend up in Hartford, I stopped by the local feed store. Here we are 5 ducklings (2 Pekins, 1 Indian Runner, 1 Mallard and 1 Silver Appleyard); 3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Buff Orpingtons later.
I’d forgotten how much fun ducklings really are. Ditto for the chicks. The chicks are supposed to all be pullets (cross fingers, toes and anything else available). They were purchased expressly for giving my extra roosters some companions once the weather breaks and I can finally build them each a bigger run. I’m hoping the ducklings are mostly females, too, as Dixie Duck needs a break from Duncan and Dweezil from time to time.
Life just got a little more interesting…in a good way. Some new beginnings are never amiss.
May God bless you & keep you!
