Posts for Duck

Yesterday Jolan came back with the first duck eggs. What a proud moment for the girl. And this morning she had one for breakfast.

The storm that hit us last Tuesday evening with wind speeds of more than 200km/h (Manukau Heads) left us without power and internet and only limited cell phone coverage. Power was restored yesterday afternoon, 3 days later.

Our new ducks have been temporarily located on our front lawn as as with all temporary things, they last far too long. So after a few months and completely destroying our lawn, the ducks finally moved onto the paddock next to the chicken.

the amount of rain we had over the last few days is extraordinary – at least on a subjective level. The occasional hours of sunshine in between evaporate the water quickly, hence yesterday we had 30 deg C. with 80% relative humidity.

Yesterday was such a hot day that the ducks did not come out from their shady space underneath their house.

While I had some doubts that Jolan would really be looking after the little ducks, I have to say that she really lives up to it.

While lot 2 is now in the making, the little ducks have grown bigger and since Jolan has been looking after then so well, they seem to recognise her as their mother duck.

We will me missing our cat Cheetah.

We started a new adventure of ducks hatching using an incubator. First success.
