Hi everybody!  frow.gif  My husband and I wanted to get two ducklings for our daughters.  I just couldn't find any around here.  I got to searching on the internet for ducklings and would often end up on BYC.  After a few weeks of reading posts on here, I decided to build an incubator and hatch my own ducklings.  My incubator is running great I ordered eggs from Metzer Farms this past Friday. (I love their site!)  We're now in the process of building an enclosure for the ducks.

 

I can't wait for the eggs to arrive! wee.gif  I don't know how I'm ever going to make it through the incubation period!!! 

 

I'd like to thank everybody for all the very, very helpful information that I've found on BYC.  I really have learned a lot here!  (and still am)

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Welcome to BYC!  Glad you could join us and congratulations on deciding to hatch  your own.  I hatched one of mine and bought the other from a private breeder.  I love my ducks. They are work, but they are so much fun and will bring so much pleasure to your family.
