Silver Linings Chronicles!

[silverlinings]

Hi all! I figured I'd introduce myself after lurking for a bit.

My name is Liv, and I live in Southern California. I work from home full time as a compliance specialist for a telemedicine company. My husband and I have a little human (she's 8), 5 dogs (4 herders and a husky mess), and soon to be multiple ducks! Right now we have George and Matilda, 2 Black Swedish ducklings. They're about a week old and doing well so far. We have more coming from Metzer (looks like delivery is Friday) - Silver Appleyard, Buff, Black Runner, Blue Swedish, Cayuga, and Welsh Harlequin.

Matilda on the left, George on the right.

* Photo from today. This bird bath gets very warm during the day, and feels like bath water. I refreshed the water, and these 2 loved splashing around in the summer sun and drying off on a warm towel afterward. *

I will share all the photos when they arrive! Looks like we can expect them on Friday, I just got the shipping notification. I've already got the 2 Black Swedish ducklings on the Durvet high level vitamin b complex (over peas), and nutritional yeast in their crumbles (Purina flock raiser). I ordered Mazuri starter to transition them over and that will be here Friday.

@Magnolia Ducks I know that when I introduce the 2 I have to the new babies, I should remove resources. I also know typically it's best to keep a barrier between them while they get used to one another. I do have a smaller brooder I could put them in temporarily but I'd appreciate any advice on that!
