While facing the challenges of starting a poultry farm, we have included ducks in the mix. After losing a few ducklings and the only male duck being stolen by some opportunists, we are fortunate to have 2 ducklings and a number of eggs yet to hatch. Hoping that we will have a couple of males amongst them so we will continue to increase the numbers.

I would like to thank Fred Aku for taking the time to drop in at the farm to take these photos to update me on the progress there. Was a nice surprise to open my message and find these. Thank you Kura 😊👍
