Animals on our farm (besides the rabbits)
Call DucksThey are extremely tame. They make great farm pets. They are funny and always interesting. They are trained to come in at night and free range on the farm during the day. The females are very loud; the males are very quiet and only make a rasping sound rather than a quack.
Our Border Collie, Biscuit, is in the background of the picture. We do have ducks for sale. |
TurkeysWe have three White Broad Breasted Turkeys, Lightning, Stormy, and are new addition Rain. They have been pardoned and are just pets. They are incredibly friendly, especially Lighting, the tom , who immediately puffs up and struts for us whenever he sees us . It has now become a game to see how may times we can get him to gobble.
