Minor Duck Blog: Spring is here!
http://minorduckblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/spring-is-here.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. Spring has definitely arrived in Austin, and the ducks and our garden seem to be loving it (we already have tomatoes growing! It's hard to tell because their voices are still changing, but hopefully over the next few weeks we'll get a better idea of who is doing the quacking. It's been surprisingly easy to have the ducks outside - definitely better than being in their brooder inside our house! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). An adventure in raising ducks.

Minor Duck Blog: The duck house extreme version
http://minorduckblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/duck-house-extreme-version.html
Monday, April 26, 2010. The duck house extreme version. I thought that Brenna didn't do the duck house justice with the not-so-good phone pictures, so I thought I would take some nicer pics of the house, because I know everyone out there is dying to see it up close. This baby is 90% cedar construction! Notice the shade/storage nook for hay/food! Duck door for easy predator-proof safety at night. And of course, cantilevered brooder box w/ operable roof for easy egg access. April 27, 2010 at 8:15 AM.

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Duck Eggs vs. Chicken Eggs. I think the most asked question so far is "What is the difference between a duck egg and a chicken egg? This picture will give you an idea of the size of an Indian Runner egg in comparison to other eggs:. From left to right: two Rouen eggs; two Cayuga eggs; one Indian Runner egg; one black link chicken egg; two Buff Orpington chicken eggs. Http:/ www.smallfarmlife.com/2009/10/03/daily-harvest/.

Minor Duck Blog: Duck Coop
http://minorduckblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/duck-coop.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. The ducks were finally able to go outside last week. Their new home turned out great after two full days and some nights getting it put together. We just added the pool yesterday, and they absolutely love it! Fortunately, the weather has been amazing, so it has been fun to watch them play in the water and enjoy their new environment. March 29, 2010 at 4:14 AM. They got big fast. and you guys have created an incredible duckland. Im impressed. March 29, 2010 at 8:44 AM.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Duck Sit In 2010. Domesticated runner Ducks seem to have almost no predatory defense besides running/flapping, and it is amazing that their species evolved to the point of being domesticated without becoming extinct. The whole episode made me re-think the perimeter defenses of the back yard, and resulted in a sweep to make sure any holes are wired shut. But the ducks decided after the big scare, that they were better off staying in. Their house for a couple of days, thanks very much.

Sadly, Veruca wasn't able to recover from what we now believe was a birth defect. We know that she's much better off despite her short time here.

Friday, April 16, 2010. No, I didn't dress up the ducks, some other crazy person did. But isn't the internet a wonderful thing? I have no explanation for this image, so feel free to make up your own. April 21, 2010 at 2:36 PM. At the very least, that image did put a big smile on my face :). Please keep it up :) Im thinking of getting some ducks this year and having a set up very similar to the one you guys have. I do not, however, plan to sew clothing for them ;).
