Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - Our Muscovys Are Here |
Our hatchery informed us last month that due to a problem with their
incubators, they would not be able to sell us any muscovy ducklings as
we had hoped. This was very disappointing news because muscovy ducks
eat mosquitos. Or so we have been told.
Today my husband picked up our recently "processed" meat chickens from
an Amish family in the community (yay! I sure am tired of beef! We had
run out of chicken). Their boys had a sign out front: Ducks For Sale.
Not only were they muscovy ducklings (about 6 weeks old), but we got
them for a good price. All 13 of them. They are out in our back yard
now along with our Pekins and a few guineas.
I'm dreaming of a tick-free (thank you, guineas) and mosquito-free
(thank you, muscovys) back yard. Will my dream become reality? I'll
keep you updated...
