Snake In The House

Woke up the other morning to a big surprise. I heard one of my three baby ducks carrying on. They usually do this each morning because they need their water bowl find up. But not this time. As I walked up to their cage in my kitchen, I saw that two of the ducks were dead and laying in the corner was a huge black snake. My daughter and I managed to get the living duck out of the cage. We got the cage outside with out the snake going crazy. I know black snakes are good around the farm but this one was in my house and killed my baby ducks so I decided it had to go.

Baby Ducks

Well, I went out to feed the ducks and received a pleasant surprise. Our momma Muscovey duck that had been sitting on eggs finally had babies. There were 13 of  the cutest ducklings running around. It took a while of fighting off mom but we were finally able to catch all the babies. Now they are in the house under a heat lamp until they are big enough to be sold.
