Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Is there such a thing as TOO many ducks 70%cocoa???

I know space does come into it and living in a suburban area we must carefully balance space and noise issues...but seriously- 20 something babies in 5 brooders ( 6, 6, 6, 2 , 1 in each brooder ) - and and 5 separate groups out side and then of course there is Ollie my disabled boy.. they really keep me very busy- but I wouldnt want things any other way. At a count of over 40...and one goose... I know this number cant be sustained year round here where I live- But since young ducks under 12 weeks of age dont come into my head count... well...things arent as populated as it first sounds. " officially" most of mine live at my block of land in the country anyway...

My one on its own was a thiamine deficient ducky I am looking after for a friend, but she is nearly well enough to go into a brooder with some " normal "ones. I dont want her to go home just yet, But I know she does have to go back soon.
 
I will have to take some photos of the new girl. She is by far the most expensive duck to ever join my flock.

Harvery was the most expensive since he cost me over $1000 in vet bills....but my new little girl has sadly cost me my beautiful red Ute. I was just five minutes away from my friends house when I was in a car accident. No injuries.. But I am very sad that I killed my car in my attempts to bring the beautiful home. She is looking a bit sad and sorry- with lots of feathers missing- she must have been a favorite with the drakes at her old home- but the car looks worse...she will heal...and I am off now to buy a car that I can take possession of before Christmas.
 
Oh Ducky, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. Must've been stressful for you and your new girl. I hope you get a nice new car before Christmas, a nice pressie for yourself.

It wont be a nice new car..but hey- its cheap and has 4 wheels and moves faster than I can walk.

I just needed something cheap to drive for a while until I find the right ute again. I am just so glad it happened before I picked her up too- that would have been terrible for her in the back with no seat belt around the crate.

At least people good choice of Christmas presents for animal lovers is making things a little easier on me. I have sold ( some pending pick up ) a dozen young ducks and ducklings over the last few days.

If I could sell a duckling a day for the next year-I would have enough for a new ute !!!

I was just so lucky in that most of the Christmas shopping for presents was done or else no-one would have had anything at all this year. Apart from the cost- just getting to shops without a car is a nightmare. Public transport in my area is pretty basic. It does make me think about those worse off though. Im sure there are many who are feeling a lot worse than me about the meager Christmas day offerings planned. Those with no family to share it with- some that dont even have a roof over their heads.
 
Funny little island?????

Hello all! We are just out of Hobart.

I have just joined and it is so nice to read the postings and know that you aren't the only chook obsessed person in the world.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Merry Christmas to you all and to those that eat your layer pellets! .

We Tasmanians can take it,because we know that we live on the best island and those on the "other"island are only jealous!
