We Bought a Farm: Wrangling Ducks

"If your woman picks your ducks and she cooks and carries her Bible ... now there's the complete package of womanhood." Phil Robertson

I am not sure if anything can provide more joy and frustration all rolled up into one on a farm than animals. They bring us so much happiness and are so much fun to watch and be around. We try to only have animals here that are peaceful and safe. We give them tons of sunlight and green grass and water. In exchange, could they just stay where they are supposed to be?

This morning. 8am. The saga continues:


I'll keep you posted on the ducks and whether we can figure out a way to keep them in. We are pretty positive they have "learned" how to nose the fencing up and slide out under it. I've tried putting in extra stakes to prevent this. But I'm not sure if they have gotten too savvy for even my best intentions,
