My Metzer duckies came. Right on time. PICTURES ADDED

Oh, and just wanted to add, the girls and I had a very pleasant lunch in the car and got to know each other a little better. They really wanted to eat and drink a lot, but I'm restricting them just a bit, since I've heard shipped birds can overdo it and have problems. We'll have a little break a bit later with a snack and a drink, and then a good dinner when we get home.

I'm thinking this could be the start of "Bring your duck to work day!"

Well, it's the right day for it, it's been pouring buckets of rain for the past 2 hours.

I hope your ducks do well. You had me a little worried but it was Cute how you had lunch in the car. Let us know how they are doing tonight after they are settled in at home.

Yeah, it's not the craziest thing I've done, but it's right up there. I'm NOT one of those "lock the dog in the car all day while you shop" type idiots. I only did this knowing that right now, the combination of weather conditions and parking options would work. A few weeks earlier, too cold probably, a few weeks later, too hot. The rest of it is rather "neutral" from their perspective, because they're getting the same food, water, etc. they'd get at home.

It's just that I'm a single guy, and I've gotten used to being self-sufficient over the years. I just didn't have anyone that I could really trust to do this for me, and of course, they can only ship during the week, when I've got to work.

Here are some photos after we got home and I fed them. So, being ducks, they're already wet and messy, because that's just what ducks do:
