Tax season is over! Well, at least our firm's tax season hours are over. So, now I have more time to hang out on BYC! My ducks are doing well. Daisy has bumblefoot right now, but she is doing okay. All the girls are laying eggs now! A lot has changed in the world lately, so I hope everyone is...
The boys will be 1 year in March, Daisy is 9 months, and the babies are 4 months. Daisy quit laying in November and hasn't started back up yet, so hopefully everyone will be laying soon!

Okay, I have some more questions about my Cricketbug. She has been feeling a lot better recently, but she prefers mostly to hang out by herself and sleeps more than my other ducks. Sometimes, she will realize they are not near her and she will quack and look around for them. She gets left behind...
