Auuugh! There are TWO Cayuga duck PAIRS for sale near me, and I won't be able to buy them for at least a month! Aaaugh! They're around a year old and the hens are already laying....

These 3 are pretty, you should see the others that are in the MUD pen! You know they are dirty when white pekins are the same color as black runners. The lucky Blues got to come into the back yard and put on a swimming presentation for my daycare kids.

Oh, it's not a matter of MONEY at all. It is that my landlady is totally against ducks. She even told me the other day I should re-home Louie since Thelma is gone and he's a widower. (She doesn't know I have six ducklings in a growout pen on the other side of my house where she can't see from her back porch.) Bringing adult Cayugas - four of 'em - on the property wouldn't work.
The "at least a month" is because escrow closes on the little house I'm buying on May 24th, and as soon as I have some fencing up, I can consider moving my flock - everybody! - and sleeping there.
HHandbasket refuses to Cayuga sit 'em for me in the interim. Fooey.

Send the person that is selling the ducks a quick email/phone call. Maybe put a deposit down and give them an explanation of why you'll need to wait to pick them up? Everybody wins that way!

Awwww that stinks Linda! I would totally duck sit for you if I lived there. Anyway you could buy them and explain your situation to the current owners and have them hold them until your new house is ready???
E.T.A. Meagan great minds think alike.
I posted that the same time you did!

I will have a beautifully wrapped box waiting for you at Lovins...with a few random holes...that you can not open till you get home! And a larger box for Mark. If Mark's box happens to oink...it is just a toy...no big deal.

I confess nothing.
(I will remain in a state of denial. At least until I read this entire thread, and decide if I want to join. Depends on how nutty the addicts here are.)
