Ugly beautiful all the way! If I could afford to taken in anything and everything... I WOULD!!! My hubby gently reminds me that I can only adopt and save so many.... I have 38 babies right now. Yes, some of them are intended for dual purpose but I treat them all very tenderly until they can fend...
I've had 2 reds that were raised for the first month with 9 other reds, 5 ducks the same age, one duck 2 weeks older and 2 rocks. That looks a little crazy but the 2 reds are now babysitting duck #7 only 1 week old, if they are shipped or hatched together chances are they'll bond like mine :)...
I've been waiting on a LETTER mailed from my daughter 8 DAYS AGO from the next state up! She's a truck driver, this will be the 3rd one in 2 months... beginning to doubt USPS. :( or truck stop pickups!?!
