Our Ducklings

Assalamualaikum.....

Jeng..jeng..jeng.....

Here comes the story for our ducklings. Let me tell you the history...

Me, hubby and Adam were on the way home from a short fishing session in Tanjung Bidara. We stopped by at a mini market in Masjid Tanah in which 2 doors away from the shop was the pet shops. They were selling a whole lot of ducklings that day. Itik nila, itik angsa and itik telur. Hubby fell in love with those ducklings. He asked me to buy one for him as a pet. I was reluctant. I didn't buy, I didn't even look at the ducklings. I know much hassle it could give us. Hubby didn't have any idea because he was purely a city boy. Never even touched a duckling before in his life.

But hubby insist. He sulked. He forced me. And he didn't move from the shop! Aduuuiiii. I had no choice, but to buy them. Instead of one duckling, I bought two. At least he has friend. It costs me 5.00 for each duckling.

This was the 3rd day the ducklings at our house. Ayah was kind enough to lend me the big cat cage for us to put the ducklings there while both of us at work.
 Otherwise the ducklings will roam all over the house with their droppings....sigh! Or else, neighbours' cats will be interested to have them as their lunch...yummmm! So, to keep them safe, we put them in the cage. Unless at night, after dinner while we cleaned their cage, they will walk around our small compound to exercise or swim in the small 'pond' we provide made from a plastic container...hehehehe.

And now, after three weeks, they have grown.

Look at them...so relax and happy and they have started to accept us as part of their family...hahahaha

Sun bathing in the morning....

We feed them well. They sure have a big appetite. Swimming, walking around, eating and sleep...

They do challenge my patients a lot of time, but believe me, I have never abuse them. I scolded them exactly like Adam will be scolded if being naughty at times....

I hope I can have enough courage and patients to have them until our last day...
