One of the ducks has a bloody wing. Someone keeps picking at the feathers on that wing. I have had to separate it with a timid runner for company so the wing can heal up. Any ideas? Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

We found a robin egg in the barnyard today that had obviously lost its way. It was ice cold, but those sweet boys put it under our broody chicken just in case. Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

The kids helped me to build the duck tractor for the ducks daytime pen today. It took about 10 times longer than it would have taken without their help, but they had a blast and learned a lot of valuable information. Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

The ducks love nothing better than eating treats out of the kids hands. Its a good thing they don't have teeth because they act like ravenous vultures! Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

I forgot how fast ducklings grow. They are only 10 days old and they have already quadrupled in sized! Then again they are pretty spoiled... Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

Please don't get your kids a rabbit this week unless you plan on taking care of it for the next 10+ years. I hate it when people give out easter chicks and bunnies to people with no intention of caring for them long term. Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

The kids decided today that they like the dog doctor better than the people doctor. "She is nicer and she gives out dog treats." Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.

One of my daycare kids recently told her preschool class that sheep were not farm animals, but house pets. Apparently, the bummer lambs we have moved into the house from time to time during the cold weather have left her with a little confusion....

I live in a small town and my folks live on a farm down the road a bit. I run a daycare out of my house with a good mix of both farm and city kids. It never fails to crack me up when the kids have somthing to say. Out of the mouths of babes... Come visit me, Morris Family Farm & Raising Rural Kids Daycare.
