Finally getting my ducks!

[Critter721]

Hi everyone! This is my first post, but I've been lurking for months because up until now I haven't had any poultry to post about. This site is such a wealth of information and everyone is so friendly and helpful. I have learned so much, and I just wanted to thank you all.

I've ordered 3 ducklings from Metzer and they are en route right now. Very excited! Should get here tomorrow or Thursday. I'll keep you posted, I know y'all like pictures. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, and I'll probably be back with a million questions.

Welcome to BackYard Chickens!

Ask as many questions as you'd like, and don't forget the pictures! What breed?

Haha, yeah sleep is not happening. At least I'm used to it as I have a year old baby who's still up several times a night.

Congratulations on your new duckies! With a one year old and baby ducks you are going to have your hands full!

Thanks! Yeah, I also have a 3.5 year old (who is very excited for duckies). Part of me thinks I'm crazy for adding ducks into the mix now, but I just didn't want to wait another year. (I wanted them last year but of course with a newborn that wasn't happening.) I'm lucky enough to stay at home with the kiddos, though, so I think it'll be a lot of fun too.

Nice to meet a fellow Ohioan!
