These are my ducks

5/30 Edited to

... Read moreRaising ducks has been a wonderful addition to my homestead experience, providing both companionship and purpose. I’ve found that caring for these ducks not only requires understanding their basic needs, such as proper shelter, clean water, and nutritious feed, but also a commitment to observing their behaviors and personalities. Each duck has its own quirks, which makes farm life all the more engaging. Living a homesteading lifestyle has taught me the value of patience and attention to detail. For example, ensuring they have a safe environment free from predators has become a priority, especially since ducks are curious and sometimes wander into unsafe areas. The simple pleasure of watching them waddle around during warm summer days also helps me embrace a natural body positivity ethos, aligning with the #summerbod mindset that celebrates authentic living rather than perfect appearances. Additionally, my unique blend of goth style and farm chores creates an interesting contrast that highlights how diverse and inclusive homesteading can be. It’s refreshing to see that living sustainably and embracing personal identity are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they complement each other to foster a lifestyle that is both creatively fulfilling and grounding. If you’re considering integrating ducks into your farm or homestead, my advice is to start small and get familiar with different duck breeds and their specific requirements. It’s a joyful process marked by learning and growth. Sharing this journey with others through platforms hashtags like #farm and #homesteading has opened doors to a supportive community that values transparency and real-life experiences. In the end, these ducks are not just animals I care for—they are part of a lifestyle that blends authenticity, sustainability, and personal expression.

5 Reasons You Should Have Ducks
1. I won’t pretend that all duck flocks are rainbows and fairytales. I’ve definitely had some aggressive drakes! But usually I was able to fix that by making sure I had the right drake to hen ratio. Chickens are known for being pretty aggressive, going after injured birds and pecking them to death.

Raising baby ducks has been a family tradition for 4 years now, and let’s just say there is a lot to learn. To begin with, ducks unlike most animals go through a thing called imprinting. Meaning that who they see for hours a day is engraved chemically in their brain as their mom and or family. This

Ducks are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. A duck's diet depends on a range of factors including species and habitat. FRUIT DUCKS LOVE TO EAT • berries • melons • grapes • bananas we like to feed our ducks with duck feed but during snack time we love to give

If chickens are the heartbeat of the homestead… then ducks are the comic relief! These quacky, waddle-happy souls bring laughter (and plenty of mud) to any backyard or barnyard. 💛 But keeping your flock of water-lovers happy means balancing their love of splashing with good care and smart setup.

What do ducks and Porsche’s have in common you might ask, well nothing really. It’s all about the duck tail wing on the back of the car. It was introduced to the Porsche 911 in 1973 and looked great. So much so I put one on my 2024. I love the throwback look #porsche #porsche911 #carsoflem
