It was a silly accident
I mixed a pig and a frog
A bouncing pog was born and went
Maybe I could build a dog
So I thought of what I could use
I tried a duck and a frog
The resulting frock got loose
Maybe I’ll give up on the dog
I decided that was okay
Because everyone has a dog
But how many people can say
they have a frock or a pog

My daughter would know that wouldn’t work. I had to explain to her what our drake was doing to the hens… and that no, we weren’t going to get duckens as a result.

Thank you.
I think I’m still a few years away from those talks 😂
Still, we can make mules and zonkeys. There’s always a chance.
Maybe not with ducks and chickens though.

That talk with my boys was also inspired by the chickens – although it was a rooster at least, not a duck. After a fair bit of explanation there was a pause followed by
“are you going to have any more babies mum?”
“no, I’m not”
“So you’re not going to mate with dad again?”
“weelll… oh look, there’s dad – ask him”.

Hilarious 🤣
I almost look forward to having the conversation now.
Chicken and rooster mating is a quick ordeal, it would an interesting world if it was the same for humans.
