We did it! We've been talking a lot lately about expanding our family, so we all went down to the feed store and we did it!
Is there anything cuter than a baby chick?
How about a baby duck?
What about two of them, a male and a female, that love and cuddle each other? It's so adorable, if you pick one of them up, the other cries until you cuddle them both. They kiss when they're reunited. It's just soooo sweet! Dainon and Logan have named them Kit Kat and Sweaty Bicep. Guess which one is the boy?
Our murderous chicken-killing dog was irresistibly drawn to the new babies. I can just hear her thinking, "Just one little bite! That's all I ask!"
Here's Logan holding the cuddling ducks, with Jill looking on- waiting, hoping.
"One day, one sweet day, you're gonna get lax. You're gonna turn your head for just a second, and I'll be ready." We got a mix of eaters and layers. In just five short weeks, I get to post about the guys chopping 5 of their heads off. Eek!
The rest, ten of them, get to be ours for good. Or at least until Jill, hawks, or coyotes get them. What do you think? How long will it be until the first one moves on to its reward?
"Why ducks?" you ask. I thought they would be fun. We'll let them have little ducky babies, and either eat them, or let someone who likes baby ducks eat them. We'll keep the breeding pair around though. What's a little farm without ducks?

Cute little critters! We are completely petted out with our dog and a half that we have right now. We are watching another dog for some friends for a year or two, until they get out of their apartment...that they just moved into. Fun!
Any visits home in the near future?
