Definitely more ducks.

So, the funny farm just went quackers! :) We've had Muscovy ducks for a year or so, but they don't quack. They hiss when upset but don't quack at all. But now we are the proud owners of two trios of Ancona ducks. And they definitely quack.

Mature trio is: a black and white drake with a heart-shaped patch on the back of his head, named Romeo. A lovely chocolate and white duck that lays green eggs. And a lavender and white duck. Juvenile trio is: a blue and white drake, and two black and white ducks with iridescent green wings.

They're residing in the Chicken McMansion for a few days, so they learn that this is home now, and where food will always appear. And I'm planning on baking my bread with duck eggs in the morning! :)
