Oh my goodness...I am shocked by how generous everyone here is!
chic-n-farmer: Your offer is so very gracious and exactly what I am looking for; however, due to distance, I must humbly decline your offer. If you were only closer, in a heartbeat I would be there. Please do not think me rude, I do very much appreciate you offering me exactly what I am seeking...just the distance we have between us is the issue. I very much want to thank you and hope in the future I may be able to assist you in some way.
dacjohns: Thank you so very much for your kind offer. Unfortunately, due to distance, I regret I must decline your selfless offer. I only wish you were closer, I do apologize. Thank you very much.
maplesky7: I am located in Roanoke, according to mapquest about 3 hours to your south. I so appreciate your offer, but due to distance, I have to decline. I do really appreciate your generosity and willingness to help out. Thank you so much.
ilroost: So far you are the closest to me...I am 1/2 hour from Bloomington, from Bloomington to Decatur is about 1 hour...so about 1 1/2 hours 1 way, 3 hours total. I am thinking that with 12 pullets that 1 or 2 roos would be plenty. Have never had ducks before...will they co-habitate with chickens or must they be kept separate? Everyone here has been so forthcoming with information, help, etc...kind of hard to believe. Would a weekend be the best time to visit?
