A year ago today, my first duck ever, Gabby, hatched at Hoover's hatchery, joined shortly by her boyfriend Jabby. They made their way to TSC and were the last 2 ducklings in the bin when I found them. After they saw me, they started peep-peep-peeping, and didn't stop until I pulled my cart up close enough to the bin so they could jump in 
I have loved them ever since. At other hatcheries around the same time, my Abby and Dabby were hatched and they found their way to me too.
I knew nothing about ducks when I started this adventure and it's only by the grace of God and my friends here at BYC that they have survived. To all of you that have helped me through this year and kept me entertained with amazing duck stories - thank you! I need to give a special thank you to a trusted BYC friend, @Miss Lydia, who got me through some pretty rough sick days (seizures, sour crop, bumbles, leg issues) and @casportpony for all the articles, links, pictures and posts that educated me on duck health/anatomy.
Happy Hatchday Jabby, Gabby, Abby and Dabby!
Here's a video of Jabby and Gabby going home - the day I fell in love

And here's my favorite group photo - which will need to soon be updated when we add Rosy, Posy, Blossom and Bloom:
