[buff goose guy]

Quote: well maybe ill have to go on a college tour

. but seriously next time i am able to go on a road trip and dont have school it would be awesome to have one. escpecially becuase WE finally finished the roof of the aviary and all that left it proofing the sides of it so the mandarins cannot slip out.

I'd really love to see you have any of them. I know you're a super dad!

What I do with buyers is to explain proper care and feeding for ducks. Mine are already adults when they're sold. All my buyers have my phone number, which I tell them they're free to use if they have questions about any of their ducks regardless whether they bought them from me.

It's fine for you to tell them a duck/drake had an early wing disorder just so they're aware, but those usually aren't genetic. They typically come from dietary and exercise issues. A parent having a wing disorder doesn't necessarily mean the offspring will if it's correctly fed and exercised.

Well that's good sound advice, thankyou JadeComputerGal

Those are beautiful, and they look exactly like the ones I lost when I was in Ohio last week. Are you going to keep these too?

You know your losing a lot of babies in OHIO, HUM, perhaps, your just sending them all my way, HAY that's OK, I'll take them. LOL Not sure If I want to keep these ones, I have quite a few bibbed but man I can't resist that second one. LOL

She ends up with every duckling I lose in Ohio then doesn't want to give them back. I usually let her keep them though, cause she's my buddy. I'll probably let her keep these as well since I have to get rid of a bunch of ducks already. I'm just a sucker for the littles though, and we don't have any of those right now. One in lockdown, but it doesn't look likely that one is going to make it.

AWEE that's sooo nice of you to let me keep them HAHAHHAHAHA, What am I going to do with you....

We have around 2 dozen up for sale after we picked out our keepers for the year. Our best show girl died overnight and we found her this morning, so I'm pretty depressed today.

Speaking of a few too many feathered friends...

We finally finished the grading this morning so I can get these posted. If any of you know anyone in the tri-state area who might want Calls, please let them know. I'm considering posting them here on BYC as well, but not sure what good that will do since there don't seem to be many duck people in this area.

HAY WAIT A MINUTE THAT'S NOT YOUR PLACE THAT'S MY PLACE. HAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

[Lacrystol]

So how many shall I put you down for?

lol NONE you can't get rid of my ducks. They are MINE. LOL I'll never figure out how you got a pic of all my ducks in one area. HUM... they only do this at night.

FYI, I love that little tiny weeny pond. LOL, with the pool in it. LOL,

BINGO. That is why I said earlier people should Stop breeding and concentrate more on the Care of ducks. If they were properly educated, they would know the basic causes of certain things and why they happened and what to do to avoid it in the future..

EXCELLENT point...

Buff, I love you dearly and would be happy, overjoyed, to see any of them go to you, but you have to remember that I'm at least 16 hours away from you one way, and I don't ship. You'd be looking at at least a 3 day trip to get any of mine. I do have a couple of drakes I'm really struggling with letting go, but neither of them are worth 32 hours on the road unless you have a lot of road trip time on your hands.

Just pack them all up in your car and go ahead an lose them AGAIN, in OHIO and they will be safe and cared for. LOL
