Hope everyone is enjoying their pre-Holidays madness!

I posted in the b/s/t area...but I figured that I would post here too since I prefer to purchase 'local' birds and have had excellent luck doing that in the past. If anyone has some ducklings or fertile duck eggs that they would like to sell, I would love to buy them! I don't care about breed, bloodlines, or colors...so they can be mixed/"mutt" and whatnot. Just some nice backyard ducks to repopulate my little flock. I had a nice bunch but something got into my cage (literally ripped the door off...I'm thinking Coyotes since I've been hearing them a lot lately) and killed most of them. =( I was very upset about it...so while we construct a new Duck Fortress...I need some eggs or ducklings!

I am happy to pick-up if you're within a reasonable distance (I live in Mocksville Zip: 27028) but will accept shipped eggs too.
I also really want some GOOD QUALITY Black Copper Maran eggs or chicks...doesn't have to be right now, but would definitely like to get my hands on some by/before Spring. =)

Please PM me if you have any for sale. =) Thanks!

Sorry to hear you lost them. I don't have all the ducks anymore, I do have Muscovy's . Most are Lavender. They are not laying right now but I have seen a hen or two checking out the nests. I also have NICE BCMs. They are on hiatus right now. If you are interested...send me a PM.

Good morning folks

I can tell it's that time of the year as the kids
are getting rather restless and I'm getting
the itch to do an evening drive to oooo and
aaah at all the pretty lights.....I just love
christmas lights. I can remember as a kid
Dad driving us around to see the lights and
to one special street where they had a
large display that the whole street shared in
......... fond memories.

Hope your day is a good one

Good Morning!

I'm going to be up at WCA Sunday, but just to drop off and pick up, I think. I'm going to have to go fight the crowds at the outlets for a few Christmas things. Ugh. But, I'll try to get it done and come back to visit a bit if anyone else is coming. Anyone?

Have a great day!

Well... men are a dime a dozen... *hopes hubby isn't reading this.*

God doesn't make mistakes and he has offered you a precious gift. It is alot of work being a parent, but soooo worth it.
Everything happens for a reason.... if your boyfriend chooses not to be a part of your & the baby's life... there's not much you can do...
BUT.... he may come around eventually.

Wishing you lot's of luck with your baby & boyfriend.

My opinion may not be worth loads, but I'll voice it anyway. Your BF was just as responsible for birth control as you. If he didn't want a child, he should have been more diligent. (Yes, water under the bridge now.) That said, a man who will threaten to walk if you choose to keep this baby....giving you a very manipulative ultimatum....is one I'd let walk. Every relationship has it high points and its low points. Married or not, you've got some mental/emotional version of "for better/for worse", else you wouldn't be together. Hitting a low point like an unexpected pregnancy lets you know if your partner is one that will stand with you when times are rough, or if he's the type to run and leave you standing.

I'd not only let him leave; I'd pack for him.

I have to second MaryRuth says!!! You are so blessed, God doesn't make mistakes and while this baby may be a surprise to you, God never says "well, I sure didn't see that comin'" You and the baby are what's important. The bf has a choice to be a part or get out, you and the baby don't. I have been where you are, only I was 18. I 'forced' the wrong man to marry me and 38 years later I still bear the scars (emotional scars). I know it is scary, exciting but you have the support of your mom...trust me that means LOTS. Hollow is so right that is so manipulative and down right mean of him to place all the burden on you, he doesn't love you or he wouldn't do that and would respect your desires and decisions.
This is an exciting time for you, You need to try to relax and enjoy this pregnancy for your and the baby's health and emotional well being.
Good luck to you and your baby!

Wild: When the gf told me she was preggers I got scared and pushed her away for a few days and had to think about it. I realized it was a blessing and that I was just scared of being a young dad.......Now I'm more excited than ever and couldn't have wished for a better girl or time in my life for it to happen. Everyone is being very supportive and if he doesn't want to be then he need not be around, adding stress to you is the last thing you or the baby needs...

Quote: Re-reading what I wrote before makes me feel the need to clarify something. The "low point" I refer to is the unexpectedness of the pregnancy, not the baby itself! Babies are awesome!

I dont mind if they are sexed or not if I can get a bunch of chicks. I would even take hatching eggs if I can get them...

 

[emrldgrn1]

I know someone with the BCM birds that if they are laying can hatch eggs but they wont be sexed

I dont mind if they are sexed or not if I can get a bunch of them.

Thanks!

Just my old lady's nickle's worth. Again.

I couldnt agree more! I think that if you want your baby then Its your choice to make, not his. And, like Hollowoak said If he wont stand by you now, can you trust him to do so in the future? Love that baby for all your worth, you wont regret it for a moment. EVER!
