How NOT to transport ducks....

[ARose4Heaven]

I sold my Rouen ducks tonight to a lady from Craig's List. She showed up with just a box the size paper comes in. No lid, just the box. She said her husband sent her to pick up two little ducks. LOL

I had posted pictures of these ducks on my CL ad, so HE knew how big they were. One drake, One hen, fully grown. She paid me the money, and put the ducks in the back seat of her car. Loose in the backseat!

These ducks are used to an unheated hen house. I can just imagine what they will be doing when that car heater gets warmed up! She said she only had a 30 minute drive.

Oh brother!!!

I'd love to see the dashboard video for that ride. LOL

Oh man I put ducks in my backseat in a CAGE and that was the biggest husband-stern-talk I ever got when he realized the mess he had to clean. Hooboy.

She said it was OK, this was her grubby car. Looked like awful nice cloth seats to me.......

so putting the goats in the back seat probably wasn't normal either...that might have explained why we were getting those looks...

I picked up a couple of Welsummers at the Stockton Poultry show a couple weekends ago. Thought they'd already be in a box (since they were being transported down from Sonoma) but they weren't. They got to ride home in my trunk.

That's what DH wants to do with the 18 layin hens I am picking up Saturday.

LOL That's funny. I have Rouen ducks so I know the size.. there's no way he couldn't have known how big they were.. I guess he didn't care.. he wasn't the one picking them up! hahaha. Poor lady.

I kinda hope I DON"T hear from them again.
