And in the news today...

Just a little bit... A few months ago I found a cute duckling pic in a magazine with the accompanying text referring to it over and over as a chick. I understand that people are so far away from their food sources nowadays that they won't recognise half the meat on their plate as newborns, but you'd expect editors and publishers to check and make sure they use the correct terms, etc?

Makes me wanna heat up the ole incubator.

Go for it!

That has crossed my mind also. But, I've resisted the urge. I don't need ducks. They are enjoyable in the summer, but NO WAY would I consider wintering them over. Got up to Minus 1*F this morning.

I loved my ducks in some ways, but they're way smellier than chickens, they eat a ton, and winter with ducks is just not fun. But I love them in someone else's yard! Lol
