Herding Ducks...Home for sale.

The time has come for us to move on. We have put the house and property on the market. If you know of anyone who would like to move to a small hobby farm in the Montgomery area, this may be just the ticket. This is a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home that sits on just over 3 acres. There is a LR, DR, Kitchen, and two bonus rooms. Included in the property is a large barn that has a built in chicken coop and nesting boxes, fenced pasture for horses, horse shelter, and a separate animal enclosure attached to the barn for chickens or goats. There is a 50x50 ft garden plot, a (young) orchard with 20 producing fruit trees and small goldfish pond. If you are interested or want additional pictures or information, e-mail me at camd23@hotmail.com or leave a message here.

Hi Camille, so sorry that you are having to leave your farm! I would be heartbroken! Is that B'ham, AL? I was wondering if you actually herd the ducks, if so, what breed are they, with what breed of dog do you work them, and if the ducks are for sale? I am in the Jackson, MS area and am looking for some ducks to work with my Aussie and Bouvier. We are getting ready for our Bouvier Specialty in Oct. Thanks!

You can contact me through my training class website, southerncharmschool DOT com. Thanks again.

Hi Suzanne,

Thank you for your kind words. Actually, "Herding Ducks" just refers to raising my three children. I thought that sounded much nicer than herding cats or turtles, which depending on the day, is a better fit.
