Chickeeduck(eegeese) Update

This morning when I went to let the chickeeduck(eegeese) out they let me know with no uncertainty that I was late! As far away as the back door I could hear Marley quacking her displeasure. When the coop door opened, she and Phoebe were off like a flash to talk about very important duck stuff.*

Oops, I've been spotted by the rest of the gang. The nuggets want to know where their corn is!

Here are Phoebe, Marley, "Ida" (ducking behind Marley--ha!), and "Bolick" strolling through the yard.

Here's Easter. Or possibly Esther, who knows. I can only tell them apart when they're next to each other because Esther has (ahem) a fuller figure. But she has a beautiful face and a great personality!

Evelyn is a chicken with a purpose. Places to go, bugs to eat, bantams to peck...


*My neighbor buddy Opie is six. He is convinced I speak duck and frequently asks me to translate. Unfortunately this morning they began quacking in a whisper so I couldn't overhear the latest gossip. Usually it's all about the new chicks--can you believe how white they are? I heard they bleach their feathers--or about Chicken Nugget Bob--he's such a bully, but those feathery legs are so dreamy!
