We decided to take a break from the farm after how busy this spring was... Meaning we were down to our cows and a some sheep (instead of all that plus gardening, broiler chickens, and pigs).

Well, that decision lasted barely 2 months.

I credit (blame?) nostr:nprofile1qqsw29v43h6gj0n8su23m9qp9glvn0fkvg0j2p67j2xlg5e74e9q7fspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumnnv43juctswqq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwxyehymm0d5h8xurpvdjszynhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4esw3lgdj and the educational note about ducks. I guess I was 'influenced'. Congratulations, you're officially an influencer! ...I also expected my wife to put up some resistance to the idea, but that didn't happen. 🤷

We didn't end up with ducks, but rather white Chinese geese.

Truth is I've been loosely keeping my eye out specifically for this breed for about a year or so now and a listing just happened to come up a short drive away.

They're temporarily closed in the barn to settle in, but they'll be out to roam the farm and swim the pond in no time.
