I haven't gotten the lecture lately. Hubby's pushing me to sell, sell, sell. Guess that means I get to keep hatching.

I have Ancona ducklings from Worth It and I don't think they're skittish.  So far, they're pretty comparable to the Pekins that I've had.  As long as I don't move really fast and grab for them quickly, they aren't at all afraid of me.  The ones that have been handled the most are super tame.  I don't have anyone else's Anconas to compare them to, though.

At least my line is anyway, I know temperament can vary with different lines though so I don't know. Since you have the Worth It line and the Thistle Down line do you notice a difference in the two as far as temperament goes?

Oh, I am so with you there!  It feels like we're never going to warm up.  I just took blankets off my horses tonight because they are so itchy from shedding.  I'm really hoping it stays fairly dry for a few days like it's supposed to.

I don't think I could live in WA.  Unless it was in Forks with Edward.  Might make an exception for him.
