Because we don’t have enough to do already…
Because Kim is the Queen of Craigslist..
Because the bugs here are insane…
Because we’re always up for learning about something new…
Because sometimes the turn around time from idea to research to implementation is quite quick here…
Because we enjoy challenging ourselves…
And because we can…
We have welcomed two Muscovy ducks into our lives!
They will live, temporarily, in the garden in a make shift shelter for now in an attempt to get a head start on some of the bugs that are just beginning to wake up. We’ll establish permanent housing for them elsewhere before the garden goes in.
I have no doubt that these two ducks will bring all kinds of fun to the farm in the days, weeks, and months ahead…and maybe even some actual ducklings!!!
Also, they need names! We have a male/female (drake/duck) pair here, so…wanna have some fun and suggest some names for us?
And the adventure continues 🙂
xoxo,
M

I have baby Muscovy’s. We have four in the brooder! We have 5 Khaki Campbell’s and a Peking. I like ducks almost more than my chickens!

Oohhh…I’m so curious to learn their personalities! I loved keeping turkeys last year and seeing how different they are than chickens!

Oooh ducks!!! I love that you guys just went out and got some ducks! I think I’m far too sensible for my own good…we’ve wanted ducks for years…we still don’t have said ducks lol
I have no names, but I LOVE that picture of the foot ( flipper?? Or is it called a foot? ) . I won’t get my kids suggesting names, we had a chook pair called Meghan ( Trainor ) and Taylor ( swift ) sigh…

Ha! Kim is the Queen of moving things forward swiftly 🙂 I tend to play the Devil’s Advocate, we talk it all out, then jump. So far, so good 🙂
Lol…yeah…let your kids name things and you never know what you’ll get, right?!
Karen
Congrats on the new additions!
As for names, how about Daisy and Duke? Lucky and Charm? Waddle and Quack? 🙂
Melissa @ Ever Growing Farm
Thank you, Karen! We’re very excited about them! Love your name suggestions 🙂
Jessie
Ducks! Fun! I got nothing for names, though the Marsh and Mallow made me laugh. At one point we had ducks named, Snap, Crackle, Pop, Marshmallow and butter! 🙂

Clap clap clap to the decision you’ve finally made about the ducks 🙂 I’m excited to read more about them now. It is indeed an Ever Growing Farm, isn’t it? 😀 How about Marsh and Mellow? LOL..That sounds ridiculously funny but why not? 🙂
Melissa @ Ever Growing Farm
Ha! Marsh and Mellow is hilarious!!! 🙂 Yes, Ever Growing indeed! Thank you for your enthusiasm and continued support! We might be a bit crazy, but it sure is fun!!!

I saw one of them take a bath on IG. 🙂
Names? How about Drumph? After the real family name of Trump. Drumph the duck.
Melissa @ Ever Growing Farm
Lol…I think I like my ducks too much to name them after such a schmuck 😉
