Hey OP, how is it going, hope all is going well!!

Morning! Think we are all anticipating your new arrivals.

@Jespy1230 ... Update? We'd like to know what happened both for your sake- but also the learning for others on delivery timing / results. Thanks, and fingers crossed.

They made it!!!! Got a call at four this morning and I went and grabbed them! It seems that everyone is doing ok. They are eating and drinking. I’m trying to decide which one will be the house duck. I have a blue runner,Cayuga, and a white crested. The Cayuga might not get to be inside because she is very very loud! The little runner is a smart little thing! The crested seems to be the bottom of the pecking order. I might have to separate her because they seem to be picking on her a bit and I know that we have to be careful about them getting her crest.

If you have any of these breeds I’d love to hear from you!

I am glad your ducklings were okay when received. I have ordered baby chicks many times through the years and it has always been very stressful for me while waiting on their arrival.

I am so glad they survived! Congratulations. I've had a Cayuga before. She was sweet.

They are precious!! Hopefully they’ll settle down and not pick once they have their belly’s full.

I love Cayugas good luck OP

Thank you! The little Cayuga is kinda a bully. She is the one picking on the White Crested. I heard they are quiet... yet shes the one screaming bloody murder lol. Can you tell me why you love them? I am really trying to figure out who gets to stay inside and be my sons pet.

The color, and they are big ducks, so they really can't fly and they are pretty friendly, it might be doing that because its bored so provide stuff to avoid it.
