likely from a hatchery and there are variances in them. We had a set from Metzers and one drake looked like those the other was more to standard.

Yeah I figure they were ducklings from a hatchery at the feed store and were an impulse buy/for a kid... then when they became inconvenient the people 'set them free' at the pond. Works fine until the pond freezes and anyone's dog can catch/kill them all. That is if they don't starve first! Some people just don't think. I'm glad to have them and I hope to have the girls laying soon

They will lay a good sized egg too! Congrats on taking them in. Our 6 live with a 4H family who have geese from us also and wanted a pet flock of ducks. Was a perfect fit.

I was about to ask you if those were Leonbergers, then I saw your sig Beautiful! But how do you feed FOUR???

That's a lot of food!

They only eat about a lb of kibble a day...they are very low energy, which is I think why I like them. I can't handle high energy dogs. One of our dogs is actually a 70lb mutt and sheesh...;SO much more effort to deal wiht him. He is way to agile and smart and energetic.

Is it okay to enter more than one look-alike celebrity? I've already entered Pavarotti, the opera singer, but I have another celebrity that I'd like to put up. Just wondered if that would be okay?

Congrats! Soon you'll have new babies again Hang in there! 
Have you tried Craig's list?   Think if it was well done you could get on the "Best of" list

I actually did that one year. Several people sent me emails, thanking me for the laugh. But it was flagged. Grinches!

Hey that's not bad! My 145 lb LGD eats about 5 cups a day, little more in winter and a little less in summer.

Nice! Yeah my friend who works for Parks/Rec who brought them to me has a female from this group, and she gets a green egg every day. I'm wondering what kind of pen/house set up I should start building for these guys?
