Kit Kat & the Ducklings

posted on

July 8, 2025

We had a wonderful visit from our cousins William and Kora this week. Lovett showed off her ducklings and Kit Kat was not to be left out.

Look how big the ducklings are now! The one adult mallard has taken to the group like the best of mothers. Showing them around the farm and leading them to the best shady spots and of course where to find a good puddle after it rains.

Racey has been more involved in the brooder this week as we play detective. We are trying to figure out why some groups of chickens do not grow as well as others. Racey has a masterful sense of animal groups so she has been doing chores in the brooder this week.

Here you can see her playing "mother hen" as she scratches at the feed, encouraging the chicks to peck and eat.

Growing up in the city of Boston, I didn't find country radio until I moved to Indiana for college. I remember laughing with friends at the lyrics of songs on our local country radio station. Since my first job working on a farm I now laugh for different reasons. There is a beautiful blend of tragedy and lightheartedness that keeps a farmer going, even when the bad news keeps coming.
