I went and got two Blue Swedish. She only had four of them left so I left her with a pair. She had one Rouen left I think and lots of Pekins. They all came from MMH. She had lots of chicks from them and was up front about sick ones. Most of hers are okay. So even though I posted pics of them on...

Quote: LOL< don't think it didn't cross my mind! But I think the Pekins and Rouens are bigger than I want. I'm seriously thinking of getting two of her blue swedish and then seeing if TSC gets any khakis. And Salem may still come through. Sheesh, I'm going to end up with 5 brooders at this...

Thanks! I just read on someone else's site that they can be loud. Sigh. I think I'm just going to have accept the fact that ducks aren't going to be quiet no matter what breed I get! And as we got to think about it last week, three ducks are probably not going to be any louder than the 19...

So I'm reading all I can find on Blue Swedish. Are they fairly calm? Nosiy vs quiet? I know they're larger than Khakis but if I'm only getting two or three would they eat that much more? Will they be likely to fly over my fence? Are they big swimmers? Off to do more research..........

Quote: Do you know what kind of chicks she has? I might be interested too DH didn't think to ask that. Here's the number: 860-647-7390. It says leave message. She was there when DH called. Let me know what she says??

So I happened to be looking in the livestock section of the Reminder News (local freebie weekly paper) and I see this ad, chicks, ducklings and baby goats. Went out shopping and came home to have DH tell me he was cleaning and saw the paper lying open. He figured out why and called! The woman...

Quote: LOL, well, maybe that will inspire them to get some in SOON! Did they have any cool chicks? I'm doing okay, haven't eaten much. Lay around all day worrying about everything I need to get done tomorrow. So glad I'm not responsible for anything other than desert on Sunday.

Quote: Oh man, with this wind!!! Brrr. I have to be somewhere at 10 so I won't be able to go until the morning. I will pm you my cell number again so you can call me if they have khakis, please? I have to invent a reason to go back down there. We have plenty of chick feed and all other...

Quote: nope didn't go today..going tomorrow. hopefully in the morning! I'll let you know, and I watch for any khakis. Normally they keep the chicks in the outside barns with heat lamps so they probably won't be inside. I'll keep you updated! Oh man, with this wind!!! Brrr. I have to be...

So, did you go? What did they have? What did you get? Because I KNOW you got something!!

Quote: I'm going to take a ride down there either tomorrow or Friday! Can't go tomorrow, but Friday is a definite possibility (studied oxymorons with the sixth graders today). Any chance you want to meet? I have to be at church at some point to help with some setting up but I'm not 100% sure...

Perfectly_Polish, Salem got some Pekins in today. Don't know what else.....

Quote: I'm emailing you my cell #!!! Got your cell #. I'll keep you updated. They get orderes of chicks all year long, up until the end of september. I'm even thinking about getting a little part-time job down there this summer, so then I'll know exactly when the chicks come in and me and...

You are going to be VERY busy!!!!

Quote: I'm down there all the time so if by any chance one day I walk in and hear little ducks and chicks peeping, i'll let you know, or even hide a couple of the khakis away for you I'm emailing you my cell #!!!

Hey Perfect, I got a little more info from Salem this morning. The older clerk (she says this is her first spring there) says they are getting the chicks before Easter but doesn't know which day. They can only special order something if I want 6. I definitely can't get 6 ducklings so I will...

Quote: Ugh, she never called me back! Now I'm going to feel like a pest if I keep calling and bugging her. You didn't happen to ask WHEN they're coming while you were in there did you? I did ask, but there was a different lady there and all she could tell me was around easter. So hopefully...

Hi Perfect! I called Salem and was told she'd be talking to the guy she was placing the order with TODAY! She said they planned on getting ducks and she will be calling me back with the date and whether or not they'll be able to get any Khakis. I'll keep you posted.
