Duckling extravaganza *Runner, Saxony, Magpie, and Silver Appleyard*

[Debs Flock]

Just one picture tonight. My camera died on me!

They are all starting to come out of their shells but the Silver appleyards are still sassy little things!

LOL...love sassy!

Looking at your duckies I wish I did change my order to blues. But the black are still cute!

Is the camera really dead?

Or did the battery just wear out - in which case...

I don't have pictures but I do have a little report.

The blue magpie drake wormed his way in to Shane's dads heart and will be going to live with him after all...at drake camp. I still think we should go grab him a gaggle of girls but we will let him get used to having ducks in general first. He has decided to name him grasshopper (lol!) since our girl is cricket.

He is a doll baby so I am glad he is going to live just down the road a bit. General consensus says we should not order when ordering pairs is required as we are not fond of letting anybody go

From my personal experience with grasshoppers and ducks, he will be the ONLY Grasshopper in the yard

We got them from Johnsons waterfowl in MN. You only have to order pairs if you want them sexed. I think it is pretty great though actually, that way the people that order straight run have a fair chance of not just getting boy. After the muscovy ordeal with all 5 being boys we decided to order pairs so we knew for sure we had some girls.

Pics in a bit...we have puppy problems today. My fault, at dinner time I was putting burger in my oldest schnauzers bowl. Put it in the wrong bowl and fed it to the puppy who has never had beef before. Blah. Puppy poopapalooza is NOT something fun to wake up to. That will teach me to pay attention to what bowl each dog gets lol.
