    I'm sorry, but those call ducklings are absolutely horribly ugly and deformed and must be sent directly to me so there's no chance of that mass of ugliness getting into your breeding pool.
    Said with as straight a tone of type as possible.

    C'mon, send 'em here.




    Are you listening to me?




    sigh I didn't really think that would work, but it was worth a try.

    Wow.. Holeshot does look like Eugene...Hes gonna be much prettier once he molts and gets some new feathers...What color is Holeshot?? Ive never quite figured out what to consider Eugene...

    AND... I am purposefully breeding for ugly ducklings...

    Everyone has cute ones and I wanted to be different... LOL...
