Duck, Duck...Chickens!

So much going on! Not enough hours in the day to do everything - or report everything. When last we met, we were snow bound and wild bird scouting....onto the domestic birds! I have been keeping up on things - but more so through my Facebook page, with daily little tidbits. But I need to do better here -and so I will! For those of you who might want daily (almost) tidbits, follow us on Facebook at: Napoleon Ridge Farm

Last weekend I attended the OEFFA conference in Granville, OH, just outside Columbus, OH. That was a wonderful experience. In addition to spending time with some of the most important people in my life, the seminars were (for the most part) amazing. While there, Gretchen, from Greensleeve's Farm bought two ducks and three chicks, which I am babysitting until they get about 6 weeks. The ducks are so funny - they LOVE water, so I have built them a little water complex, a few pictures here of their bathing so Gretchen can check them out.

Getting their feet wet.

Then getting everything else wet!
