Awe. How do you weigh them?

I have a USPS package weight scale I bought from USPS. It goes up to 11 pounds. I paid $68.99 for it and didn't know it was that much, the lady just scanned it and put it on the counter. She was talking to me a lot so I wasn't paying any attention to the price. I had my card that has a chip in it, inside the pay thing already so it accepted my card instantly without a confirmation. Just bleep and done. When I got home and checked my receipt, I was upset. Tried to return it, but they said no returns! So I'm stuck with a $68.99 scale!

This is my scale:
*Pic off internet cause I can't find my camera*

That is cool. You pick up the little blessing and gently plop him or her on the scale.

I use the old cave man way I step on the digital scale see how much I weigh then pic up a duck/ goose etc and see how much we both weigh and subtract the difference.

How do you keep them so still? Lol

These pictures were from when they were 16 days old.
First I put a old Halloween bucket with shaving inside on the scale. Then I zero out the scale and put one duckling at a time inside to be weighed. I document all my hatching, growth progress, hatch rates, sizes of eggs, sizes of my adults, and lots of other things.
Scale Zeroed out:

Duckling #1 Named Runt (Smallest)

Duckling #2 Tapu (2nd Biggest)

Duckling #3 Kovu (The biggest)

Then here are their close ups! Missing a close up of Kovu.

Lol. I didn't know that. The origin of Runt is funny. And so true.
