The Ducks Love Rainy Days.

Woke to a rainy morning. At 6:00 it was downpouring so I waited awhile to let the birds out. By 7:00 the rain had settled down and I fed, watered and let out the birds. The chickens don't much like rainy days while the ducks LOVE rainy days. They all gathered 'round a newly filled pool to swim and dabble in nearby puddles.

Hmmm only 8, where is Rocky, she is busy laying an egg.


Most days we get 5 or 6 eggs in the coop first thing and one or two we have to play hide and seek to find in the yard. Today Rocky decided to hide her egg but I found her pretty easily. The outdoor laying ducks tend to keep to the same spots for while. When they change to a new laying spot after a week or two we play hide and seek all over again!
