The Great Duck Roundup

The Muscovy ducks were awaiting our arrival as we pulled up to the fence they were kept in. Jerry had told us about the opportunity to acquire some ducks and since our last one had previously kicked the bucket, we jumped at the offer. Muscovy ducks are good for meat, etc. and there were around thirty ducks to round up. Jerry worked as the gate keeper, while Trey and Mark helped catch the ducks. When we arrived home with all of the ducks, we let them out into the garden to get used to Providence Prairie before letting them onto one of our ponds. These are white Muscovy's and they are unique to their kind with the funny looking red on the male's heads.

We welcome them to Providence Prairie!
