Duckie’s {the duck} Video

The other day I was talking about how our duck, Duckie‘s, walk makes me giggle. We’ve been letting the chickens and ducks out to wander in the afternoons for the past few days. They were so funny running all over and scratching around earlier that I thought to grab the camera to video a bit […]

Gabby and the three chicks explore the world!
