Why the frown?

ETA: I should be frowning-candled a couple of my Call eggs yesterday and nada, zilch, zippo. Keeping my fingers crossed that it was just those 3.

I'm not getting my Grey Saddleback Goslings cause mom canceled the order and another thing which I dont want to say

And theres been 2 other auctions for them call duck eggs and OMG they went for a bunch

Aw, I'm sorry about the geese-I know you must be disappointed.
Just think though, not long and you'll be hatching out some Call ducks...come on, you know that makes you happy.

I might even have to take my name off that list

I was told by my parents to focus on one breed and I dont know what breed to focus on

 

[easttxchick]

You mean one breed of duck? Puhleeze, that's an easy one!!!!

Just kidding.
If you plan on getting into showing/breeding, that really isn't a bad idea your parents have. It makes it a whole lot easier to focus all of your time and attention to working on the one breed.

I wanna HUG and SQUEEZE him and call him MINE! LOL

But were leaning towards Muscovy ducks cause they dont quack,come in many colors, and can forage without me worrying about the call ducks flying away...
But I will miss the quacking noises though

*Lightbulb* Do call ducks make very very good pets?

Yes, they make fantastic little pets. They are very social, friendly and curious. They'll follow you around, nibble on your shoes, let you hold them...
Win/win with the little Calls. PLUS-they don't eat too much and they only need a kiddie pool for swimming!

 

[StevenW.]

I know I would love them but I'm still not sure yet though.....
Could I let them free range? Thats the only problem I would have and if they would fly away?

If I dont have school tomorrow I see if I cant make my mind up tomorrow and stick to it

(Darn snow is everywhere

)

 

[easttxchick]

Ya know, they really aren't the best choice for free ranging. I only allow mine to free range when I'm outside. The little hens will call in every predator for a mile-quiet, they ain't!
They do fly around a bit, but not far-then they panic and want to come back to the rest of the flock.

I just need to do a lot research, I need to just settle on one breed and just look and stare at everyones call ducks

 

[easttxchick]

There ya go, now you have a plan.

Now I just have to see if we have school tomorrow if it starts getting really windy and drifting everywhere then we wont have school
