Lookie what I brought home with me today!
They are afraid of the rabbits.
One duck fell out the door, rest followed her.
Pekin hens, for those curious.

3 hens, all girls. I wanted them as pets/eggs and Pekin lay nearly year round. They're big, fat, can't jump or fly and easy to spot if they escape.
Nah, they are still quacking angrily at the rabbits if any hop too close to them.
I just got them today, got home a few hours ago.

I raised Pekin ducks last spring for the freezer. Don't know about the eggs, but roasted duck sure is good.
