Ducks 
BARNYARD & BACKYARDS(11)
It’s also been awhile since I posted pictures of our little barnyard menagerie. Besides, our critters are more popular than the Urban Homesteaders themselves.

SPLENDOR FROM GRASS
In winter, when surplus greens are scarce, we supplement our backyard poultry’s diet with wheatgrass.
(28) JUST DUCKY!
Our new batch of ducks have taken to finding their way on top of the goat house and hanging with goatsies.
(10) DUCK DUCK FOOT
Bumblefoot is easier to cure the earlier you spot it, so it is a good idea to go check all their feetsies every now and again. One thing we’ve learned and that we continuing stress to folks who want to start keeping animals it to be diligent in your observation of your animals
(3) EGGS!
We are eggstastic (sorry, just had to put that pun in!) that our chooks and ducks are back in the egg business (sorry no extra’s). For some reason, this winter (could be because of old age or extreme weather conditions) we weren’t getting any eggs
(7) TAG-A-LONGS
Usually our backyard barnyard is relatively calm; yet, ever so often there is an occasional cackle of a laying hen. Back in the summer, the peaceful animal kingdom was broken by some unusual quacking.
(12) DUCKY TALES
Sorta sad there’ll be no more fluffy butts (for awhile at least til we get a new batch of chickens come spring), but we are happy that they’ve integrated nicely with the chickens, ducks and even goats.
(4) DUCK DUET
As far as their new digs, they are integrating nicely in the poultry family at the animal compound where the menagerie cohabits with a pair of goats.
(3) SPROUTIN’ FEATHERS N’ TAILS
The baby ducky episode is quickly coming to a close. Pretty soon these “quacker doodles” won’t want to be seen in public and there’ll be less and less pics of them here at LHITC.
