The last week has been abnormally crazy for us around here ( our first niece was born, our dog turned 6, we celebrated our 11 year anniversary, Mothers day and my sil is in town from out of state) so I am just getting back on to update. What I meant was I wonder if them dropping the box had...

It is a work in progress, I am still pretty concerned about the female Saxony. But I feel like it is part a growth spurt and not having strong enough legs and part niacin issues. Hopefully we see a full recovery though! Oh my gosh. Grasshopper and his spotted bill make me turn to a puddle of...

Ok here they are! They are so big and so cute. Their legs look so much better today after switching from the brewers yeast I had been giving them to a b complex vitamin and putting them back on nutri-drench. The amount of improvement is outstanding. I have high hopes for full recovery...

I've been having such a rough time with the group of shipped ducklings. I give brewers yeast daily and yet I am dealing with niacin deficiency in some of them. Also the magpie drake has seizures if he gets startled while sleeping. I wonder if the stressful shipping thing had an impact on...

All wrapped up after a bath not much room in the brooder these days.

I really need to take new pictures!! Tonight I was watching them run around and it hit me how dang big the Sassafrass silver appleyards are getting and the Saxonies are not much behind. Also, ouch. I really thought the Silver appleyards would of mellowed a bit by now but they bite so hard...

:) Thanks I'm having a bit of a creative brain fart. I need to do duckling pictures but I'm feeling like it needs to be over the top cute. My brain is not wanting to let me be creative today though! This calls for coffee (at 8pm lol).

I don't but I have been meaning to pick some up. I have celiac disease and I've heard that that helps a lot if you get glutened. I don't eat out or at other peoples houses if I can help it. But I do occasionally get dust from the duck food in my face. So it would be a good thing to have on hand.

Cricket the curious. Nova, boy these Saxony babies are some fluffy little balls of love.That is why there is only one shot of Nova. She spent the rest of the time snuggled in the crook of my neck. Highly recommend that everybody run order some lol Cricket again Not everybody but I'm...

I was a useless ball of mush last night during one on one time. Cosmo licked me...instant puddle of mush. I'm pretty sure ducklings are the cutest things on the planet! More coming in a bit from the rest of the snuggle session ;)

Here are a few cell phone shots of Cosmo and Gypsy from a few minutes ago. Oh is she ever sassy. phew. Cosmo is still sleeping on me but now under my chin. He is the sweetest little guy.

Cinder and Ember, these babies are getting so big so fast. They even have some pretty fawn colored feathers already. And the littles. I couldn't get individual shots tonight they didn't want to hold still for me. Having too much fun running around the room like a race track I guess haha.

I'm going to push for him to pick up some runners too..no slugs! We got them from Johnsons waterfowl in MN. You only have to order pairs if you want them sexed. I think it is pretty great though actually, that way the people that order straight run have a fair chance of not just getting boy...

I don't have pictures but I do have a little report. The blue magpie drake wormed his way in to Shane's dads heart and will be going to live with him after all...at drake camp. I still think we should go grab him a gaggle of girls but we will let him get used to having ducks in general first...

Oh just the battery! I will get new shots tomorrow. Today was crazy busy!

Just one picture tonight. My camera died on me! They are all starting to come out of their shells but the Silver appleyards are still sassy little things!

That is what I will probably do. Maybe I will wait a few days and decide once they have really settled in.

I'm a bit torn at the moment. We planned to keep Asher because he is just so cute. But I keep thinking the Saxony boy is just so much more sweet. I'll have to see what Shane thinks...maybe he can make the final decision. One thing, whatever boy stays gets the name Asher.

I wish I could too, then I could soak in all of their cuteness!

I wish you could too. It is going to be so hard to see him go. So far nobody is interested in either of the boys. I'm sure it is because they are boys. His personality is wonderful too so it is extra hard to part with him. I was so worried that Cricket would not make it through last night. At...
