if i've not mentioned it before, Lorri's latest undertaking is raising some ducks and chickens. last thursday we received the first shipment, which contained our three female Rouen (basically giant mallard) ducklings as well as three female Pekins for our friends. this first clip is from the evening of the day they arrived, in which you can get a look at the black (ours) and yellow (our friends') ducklings. pretty cute, eh?
as you can imagine, Arwyn is really into the ducks. when i came home from work the day they arrived, she just kept repeating "baby ducks" - which is super cute, and also a great example of how she's stringing together words these days, which is cool to see (and you'll get a sampling of that towards the end of this clip). of course her interactions with the ducklings have to be quite supervised, but generally she understands that she has to be very gentle with them.
stay tuned for updates on phase II - chickens. you'll have to wait a little while as i don't think they'll arrive until the end of the month...
PS - next time i'll post some pictures of the coop that Lorri and her dad have been building. the framework is nearly complete and it looks great!
