Pics to come of them and my geese , soon as I figure out how to post pictures.
They gave me 2 extra!I'd orginally ordered 5 Penciled runners , 3 mini-Silver Appleyards , and 2 silkies(various colors ).
My second choice was gray runners.(Mallard colored). I put down any date, because I really wanted the Penciled out of show stock. We emailed several times after the 3rd alternate date passed, and they said they weren't sure they could fill the order, did I want other colors. I really wanted some that I could maybe get show birds from--it was really what I wanted so I asked advice here, and said I 'd take the second tier of Runners, but I really wanted the runner pattern over solids. I said I'd take other colors of runners, but I'd rather have enough of each like 4 and 4 of a color (at least of one that isAPA recognized) and take away from the mini order... These are my Birthday present (April
I was disapointed, but still hopeful.
The next day (Tue.) they said they shipped! So I guess the hatch came out right! Anyway, they sent 4 Penciled Runners, 3 Gray Runners, 3 Mini Silver Appleyards and 2 Mini Overbergs. Which I have no idea what an Overberg is!
So they sent 2 extra Runners!
After I picked them up and got them hope I put the box in the brooder, and started to reach in , two of the mini's leaped out of the box!Leapin' Lizards, ah I mean Leapin ' Ducks, maybe the Runners suggested they do hurdles !
Put a bit of honey in the water (not raw, processed) and made sure everone got a drink. I am watching closely hoping they all make it. One of the mini's went to sleep first, and one of the Grays wasn't quite as active as the others- Not lethargic , just not leaping and running as much.
