In the Brooder
There is no greater a sound than the peeping of ducklings.
I had no idea such a heavenly event would happen in my very homebut there I was, online. Just strolling around the limitless internet, with never ending poultry possibilities.
And eventually I came to the webpage known as "metzer farms". I casually strolled opon this mighty website, taking in the views of all sorts of exotic fowl! But then I stumbled apon the baby ducks page.. and I knew then, They were to be mine.
I set opon my quest of knowledge, asking myself such questions "how much protein does a growing duckling need" and reading the timeless tale of the ugly duckling til I had almost memorized the lines themselves, but the best was yet to come...in the mail.
The next day I take a deposit from the bank. sparing no expense for the small fluffy royalty I was to care for, buying all the nessities of my own "duckingtom palace" ( see what I did there?)
Of coarse, I drained everything, my 401 K, the kids college fund, the non-essientials, I figure, whats the priority here? Ducks, ducks, ducks, and more ducks! The feed, the waterer, the shock proof water proof fire proof red bulbs! I must make sure my royals have all their creature-comforts.
I slowly count down the days...
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,....
THEY"RE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as I hear the phone ring from the post office, I race downstairs and answer hoping to hear the words I have been craving so bad...
"Hello? have the ducklings arrived?"
"yes"
are they healthy?"
"yes"
are they excellent specimens of they're breed?"
"Listen lady, I just work here"
"am I dreaming"
"*hangs up*"
Me: WOO HOOO!!!!!!!!!!
