We have a new addition to our anti-slug arsenal: a duck! Her previous owners said she was too noisy. We figured not much could be too noisy to compete with a toddler and a newborn, so bring on the quacking! And just like that, the duck has a new home. She is in her own area within one of the chicken fences to acclimate one to the other and eventually she will join them. Unless, that is, we decide to move her fence to follow the largest populations of slugs or areas of garden that need tending to. Oh, and she lays one huge egg a day. Stay tuned...she may get her own duck family if we continue to like her! By the way, since she is the only thing we have one of on this farm besides Coughball the cat (and poor Coughball came up with the short end of the stick with that one), she deserves a name. Suggestions?
