Since I'm about to be over run with ducklings I figured it was time to start my own baby post.
Hopefully by tomorrow morning our six new babies will be here! We have 3 males and 3 females coming. 2 blue magpies, 2 saxony, and 2 Silver Appleyards. We were pretty torn up about having to sell the drakes so the OH's dad kindly offered to build a drake sanctuary at his house (he just lives 10 minutes away from us). So we will raise them and then they will go live with "grandpa". Hopefully the drakes will get along with no females or we may just have to get some extra girls to live there too. I actually wanted to change our duckling order, eliminate the magpies and add Emery penciled runners but we got the call that they shipped before I could. Oh well, I'll love the magpies as much as my runners regardless. I will just have to try to convince the other half that we NEED one more...just one LOL.
We also have our two fawn and white runner ducklings, Cinder and Ember. Gender unknown but hope at least one is a girl. Photos of them up until now below.
Cinder is darker, Ember lighter
