The Shocking Truth About Our Mallard


This is so crazy! Just to think all this time we thought we knew what we had just a few days shy of 5 months old. My oldest son said "hey mom, 'Chill is a male (our duck) and told us the signs. Myself, and the two youngest were shaking our heads in sarcastic disbelief. Debating the whole time on how she's not. He gave us the signs of the beak and feet, that don't have nothing to do with the gender and the tail is nowhere being curled at the end. Lol! So one by one we go check out Chill and I was like okay who put gel on the tail because it happened t be curled. That was not there yesterday (we pay very close attention to our ducks). Addition to this which really wasn't anything until now, Lizzy was sharing with me two days ago that Chill feathers were turning gray. However, there's one sign of knowing that we had a Mallard drake all this time but it never register to us when we were learning about our ducks previously...we were just knowing that a curled feather at the end of tail was the determining factor of a drake but now we know not in its entirely. Our duck name Chill is a drake. i know this is weird for me to say because of previous post about our two ducks but this bring an excitement to our home this morning.

Duck 101

Drakes are male
Hens are female
Mallard ducks do fly

Indian Runners can run but cannot fly no more than 2ft off the ground...we learned that the hard way. I knew I was cautious of our Indian runner duck for some reason. :( Read more than you normally would about any animal you keep as a pet.

Glass Photo Magnets

Well I know its late to be doing artsy crafts but I had a few different tasks I wanted to created before I go to bed. Cleaned and organized the refrig and freezer for groceries to fill it up. I will be doing some smart grocery shopping which is just going once a week so that veggies don't get spoiled and planning a meal checklist. So far I have a Family Favorites checklist for breakfast, lunch and dinner "dinner column is already filled with our favorites. Me and the three younger kids organize a section of the garage, planted some seeds and put some stone in the garden area in the front part of house. What was also on my to do list was some arts n' crafty ideas I got from my favorite site Pinterest. I previously purchase some magnetic sheets and decorative glass gems to create some glitter backs "not sure if that's what they're called". I couldn't locate which pinterest board I had Pinned it to but happily was won over by these cute little photo glass magnets and had all the supplies to cre8t them. Here are some pictures and if you're interested in making some for your family here's the link for the tutorial. Enjoy!
