Yes, my little quack heads, the quackers, and the Quackin are all affectionate names for my little ducks. They are such good layers and lay big beautiful eggs. They are easy going, give them a kitty pool and feed them they are happy little fellows. I have Runners, white layers, khaki campbells, habrids, and Rouens. In the morning they greet me with happy quacks, I say "are my little Quackers ready to play? Go, go , go! they fall into a Quack line and head to their day pen, where they play all day. At night I tell them " all good quackers should be in bed" Go to bed!" Again, they fall in line like a little duck Army and head to their night pen. I'll tell you about the chickens next time, they are NOT my favorite. picture is mine

@mom210 That's true. My chickens, when they free ranged, would all come back to the coup for the evening when I hollered, "Treats!!!" We have had too many encounters with coyotes here now, so no more free ranging.

@kareng yes, same here, along with raccoons, opossums, foxes, owls, seems like they all want a bite of my animals.

Ducks are quite amazing. My father in law had a pet duck and they were adorable together.

yes, the ducks and our chickens all make lovely eggs, I have a rule you must give me something in order to be on my farm. Meat or eggs or both,
