The Flock Grows

One of the interesting things about Africa is that pretty much anything is for sale, depending on the day or even time of day. We were on our way home from the boat trip when we saw a small group of domestic ducks along the side of the road. We had been looking for some ducks to keep Thor and Moose and three the chickens company. So we sat there in the car for a few second looking at this group of duck untill someone came to talk to us. We asked if they were for sale (silly question, refer back to the first sentence) So we followed this guy up the road to meet his brother, 30 minutes of bartering and I landed us a healthy male and female duck for less than $20, bring on the ducklings and eggs. hopefully.. A short car ride home on the floor at Nikki's feet and they were home. However, getting them out of the car was not as peacefull, we each grabbed a duck and they began squirting poop like an adolencent cut loose with an overfull squeezable ketchup bottle. All over the floor of the truck, our clothes and a steady stream accross the pavement to the front gate. Inside safe and Thor is intrigued. 24 hours later they are still happy and healthy.
