The duck pen lost its roof yesterday. When I noticed all of it gone when I went over to say hello to them. I had to go and have a look under the pieces to see if Speedy or Young Boy was under there. Lucky for us there were no casualties and there was someone to put it together. Some of the tin also got blown away from the chicken pen, but they loved it as it let more sun in. The ducks don't like the wind much, they run around and then stand face on into the wind. That baby girl is still chasing Mandy around. When I put Mandy to bed yesterday there was the baby girl standing at the entrance like she was a door bitch.
I think Speedy is going to start laying eggs soon, here is a nest I found of hers. No egg, but I'm sure I'll take a photo when she does. We ate my duck egg pasta yesterday and it was great. I've decided that I'm going to make them earn their keep and make a little more pasta and sell it at our cafe. I've worked out the sign already. "Duck Egg pasta, brought to you by the Ducks of LBC which is sponsored by Hydrorancho as seen in www.hydrorancho.blogspot.com which is fed by the scraps from The Little Larder". I've got to pimp them out as I really want shirts made up. Those Hydrorancho shirts wont pay for themselves!

You know I would SO buy those shirts. Maybe the front could have a 'Brady Bunch' grid of squares with everyone's picture. Old Boy in the middle, naturally.

You know thats exactly how I imagined it. Except without Old Boy, but since you've mentioned it thats a much better idea. How could I have forgotten Old Boy? He'd certainly give me the best photo. I start work on the pasta next week, so they'd better start laying!
Put me down for a shirt, Mel.....Take it out of my pay (LOL).
I'd better get cracking on the designs, not to mention the pasta.
