Our ducklings were getting huge, so we made our playhouse into a temporary duck house. That didn't last too long. This week we released them. We weren't sure how that was going to go, but it went OK. The four are now three, but that wasn't a shocker to us. We've been told that raccoons are a tough predator for them at night. The ducks can't fly yet, but it shouldn't be long. They are staying in the backyard and swimming in the pond. They don't want to have much to do with us (no more house and no more food). For now, we just watch them, and that's fun.
The ducks are definitely my back to school summer story. I can't believe we raised wild ducks, but we did. The summer of 2014 will always be the summer of the ducks.
