Saint Anthony and Saint Francis

Welcome to Black Opal Farm, Frank and Tony!  We aquired two muscovi ducks yesterday from a friend.  This type of duck does not need a pond or lake, just water to drink and bath in.  Right now they are in Boudreaux's old paddock which has been vacant since he passed away back in August.  I opened the gate this morning for them to have free range of the entire farm, but they are still hanging out in the paddock for now.  They will come out when they are comfortable.

Stella loves ducks.  This is why we decided to bring them home from my friends, Carole, house.  Carole had to catch them with a net to get them in the box.  Stella was so upset!  She started crying and ran to the box wondering why the ducks were in there!!
