By the way, a couple of people have asked me about the racist-sounding comment at the end (“I blame the black one”). The black duck was our ornery duck who never wanted to comply – that’s why she was blaming her.

Luckily, a friend took the ducks for us – after a feral cat moved in the ducks were way too noisy for our little suburban neighborhood. Now, that you mention it, Lina hasn’t volunteered to watch the farm lately….

Hahaha! So Funny, but poor Lina. Will she ever volunteer again?

HaHaHa! I loved this! Poor Lina. I hope she got some serious compensation for this ‘farm sitting” business. Hmmmm, will she ever volunteer again?

We have simular experiances exceptour ducks (4 Pekins and a Runner Drake) roam our back 5 acres of not yet fenced pasture.
I have learned (after 10,000. failed attempts to get our retired Scaredy-I mean Border Collie to help) that if I take a stick I can easily guide them to where I want them to go.
If they are particularly not ready to go in I have to have my children help by slowly surronding them so the only way away is to go into the house.
-we have yet to find anyone that will farm sit for us lol.
