A flock of ducklings have been taken under the paw of an unusual protector. Ben the Border Collie lets the fuzzy youngsters snuggle up for warmth and makes sure they don't stray too far from his side.
The black and white dog will eventually learn how to round flocks of ducks at the Pennywell Farm in Buckfastleigh in Devon.
For now, he looks happy with his quacking role of guardian.
“Will someone please get me some orange sauce?!”
I would look after them as well.
Till they got fat.
(Actually, many years ago when I was first dating my wife, who has since passed, I got the idea of cooking her Duck L’Orange).
Ended up with a little bit of the meat (on the duck, not her), a bunch of dried up orange peels, and about a half gallon of duck fat).
I would rank duck as somewhere between crow and pheasant
Some folks rave over lamb.
I wouldn’t eat that if my life depended on it, musky, stinkin junk. Even my mutt who is quite a carnivore ignores it when I gave it to him.
We had some pet ducks at one point. One especially was wonderful, They can be very smart (in a duck sort of way) I read that they are as smart as a 3 year old, dont know if its true
The last time someone cooked lamb for me, I thought it was pork chops, it was ok for me... I guess it’s in how you cook it.
