Duckling Rescue

Sometimes you just have to say Whoa!
This is what we did at the farm this week as the
farmer was going to end a little Mallard duckling's
life, because he thought he was too sickly to go
on. So for now we have Wilbur (Charlotte's Web Ref)
It may turn out to be a feisty Wilma...LOL



We tried to see if the chickens would let in another
roommate, alas but no. So we will strengthen it up
enough to release back onto the farm.



It took about 12 hours for it to decide the Hunger Strike
was not the way to go :) We all felt better after it decided to
have a little crumbles.
This is a Farm Duckling, but those ducks do not get handled
so I get this is a big change of life. Pet life has advantages
both kids are already wanting to let it in the shower with them.
Something the chicken didn't like at all...:)

Anyway it'll get our feet wet so to say with Raising Ducks.
We wanted to get a few Cayuga next spring, or Indian runners.
We want to not have to buy eggs again, so the Poultry
Experiment will continue.



Wilbur is about 1 week old in these images.
I hope the kids have fun.
We're going into the yard with a large kiddy pool today.

You know this will be a fun photo project for me.

Have A Blessed Day
