Introducing...the ducks♥

Greetings dear friends, 

May I introduce to you, Sir Percy and Lady Marguerite Blakeney...my ducks ♥

The Blakeney's are Muscovy ducks, excellent egg producers and they are the best breed of duck to raise for meat.

My plan is to start a small business selling duck eggs and meat to the people living here in the Langkloof ♥

I am very excited, and am praying that the Lord will bless and grow this plan of mine!

I will keep you all updated on my progress, but for now, here are some pictures of my adorable ducks♥

Sir Percy Blakeney...^

I thought it was just the sweetest thing when, this morning, as I opened up their coop, the male,

{{who then did not have a name,}} hooked his neck around the female's, pushed his body in front of hers, and protected her from what he thought was possible danger...such a gentleman. {{smiles}}

It was because of this little incident that my ducks received their names...

 

Have any of my readers heard of, or read , Baroness Orczy's 'Scarlet Pimpernel' books?

If so, you will remember that the main character, Sir Percy Blakeney ,was a complete gentleman and would gallantly risk his life for a lady any day.

 My drake reminded me of Sir Percy, so I called him that and named the female Marguerite.

Marguerite was Sir Percy's wife in the books.

And so, my ducks were christened the Blakeney's♥

I am so thankful that the Lord created an opportunity for me to meet people who just so happened to breed ducks and had a male and female which they needed to rehome...

Blessings and love to you all,

Gabrielle♥
