We recently acquired a few new face at the homestead, due to some life issues a friend of ours was unable to have a place for a few of her animals. So to help her out we offered her some space at our home for a pair of drakes (male ducks) and a goose (female.. Uh... Goose). So now we have a few more faces in the flock and we will see how they fit in. Hopefully a couple more drakes will keep our ducks happy and I am guessing that another goose will fold right into the flock pretty well. There was a little bit of hostility from the turkeys as they attempted to show the newcomers who the boss turkeys where in the yard and the French geese snapped at the new drakes a little to show them who the top water fowl are in the yard. But after a short swim and a preening session they seem to be settling in OK. We will see how they do tonight with the coop arrangement.
