Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

You have a big Bobbles fan club here.

He sure does! Lol I’m one of his fans. I’m thinking I should make a thread for his growth.

Oh my goodness! Came into Southern States for some feed and they have Call ducklings for sale! They're mostly adorable grays, but there are 3 cuties that are black with yellow bibs. What color are these? They actually look pretty nice in my inexperienced thoughts. Short bills and small overall. My daughter is really wanting some of the black ones with yellow bibs. Gah! I'm struggling. I feel like an addict

Black bibs

Thank you so much! I'm terrible at making decisions like this. They're so incredibly adorable but I've got an awesome group that are almost 5 weeks old so I'd have to keep these separated.

Yep! You'd be starting all over again! I convinced a friend she needs the group hatching today (almost all 9 unless there's a color I want) so I can properly focus on keeping Iggy, Riley, and swim shady super tame. So far, they are thinking I'm awesome, so I hope I can keep that going.

That's how I'm feeling. I just hate breaking my daughter's heart and to be honest, I'd love to have more too, but I'm hoping to purchase more eggs from stock that I know are well taken care of and really nice ducks, even though time is running out this year. On the bright side, my daughter was able to get our little Snowy to quack last night! Lylah is very special to my daughter.

Side note @Conan i wish you weren't on the other side of the country or I'd be asking if you were selling any eggs! Seems like a long trip to NC for Calls.
