For the past month or so I've had ads placed in online farm, poultry, sale groups trying to place 2 of my 3 Rouen drakes in a good home and locate another 3 hens or so. No luck in finding any hens so far less than a full day's windshield time.
The other day I got a text from someone looking for ducklings. We texted back & forth a few times before I asked could I call and got a positive response. After a second I thought I recognized the voice. Another minute I asked and it was none other than my "daughter". I've no biological offspring to call my own but I helped raise this child (now 32 years old with 5 young uns of her own) for some 10 years. I was more of a Dad to her than her bio father ever was and Alisa still calls me "Dad".
Like any Dad I do think my daughter is a special and beautiful young lady whom I'm very proud of and love very much.
She'll be a good Mom to the lads as she's as much an animal lover as I am. Now all we have to do is find me 3 hens and another dozen or so for her and her randy new boys!
