Danny



Danny, Sweeper, Boogie, and Wiley,
Well… our Fulvous Whistling ducks are a little high strung today since most of our Call Ducks are separated from the rest of the flock for breeding purposes. Danny, Wiley, Boogie, and Sweeper seem quite concerned about their sequestered friends and have stayed close by, circling around the enclosures and assuring their friends that all is well. Danny is, after all, the mayor of the flock. She always greets newcomers and is the first to serve as guide and counselor for any new flock member. Danny is the only duck who will walk right up and greet me. She enjoys it when I pet her and lets me pick her up. She even tolerates a momentary snuggle and then asks to be put down. Hopefully everyone will calm down soon and just loll away the wonderful spring days in harmony.

Laurie and Charlotte Visit Buckaroo Farms





Yesterday our friends Laurie and Charlotte came for a visit. Charlotte had fun visiting all of the animals, especially our goats, Yahoo and Skye, Biscuit the rooster, and our new duckling, Bouncer. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast!
