Hi Everybody and Thank you all for such warm welcomes.
Here's an update...we've decided against the duck(s) for now. I convinced Amelia to wait till the babies are out in their coop and that we could start over again with duckies (in about 2-3 months!!!)
I have however bought 2 more new babies...still bantams, but the man at the store (who seemed breed knowledgeable) didn't have a clue what kind these were. All I know is that the little gray is so tiny and the bright white one is so cute!!! So, the total count is 15 (I lost one of the original 14 - so sad!) DH hasn't looked into the brooder yet, and probably won't count them either! ;-)
