Rescued Duckling... newbie

Yesterday was probably the hardest day for me since Fancy died...
In the last two weeks, I've lost my job and no longer have my car, and I got an amazing roommate that has helped me out so much even though he only just met me...
And then me having 9 ducks just got away from me, i wasn't cleaning up as well after them like i was not able to give them the attention they deserved. Roommate said if I didnt do something, he was going to have to find another place... and I cant afford this place on my own.

So, I made the hardest decision of my life to rehome 6 of my babies... I cried, bawled, and bent over cried some more... but I know it would have been selfish of me to keep going as I was. I called the gentleman that gave me the twins, Donella and Isabella for fancy... and asked him if he would take some of my babies - it started with just my quackers - mocha, little, and coco, but then I decided to let him have the twins and sodapop as well. I kept going back and forth on sugarbaby, but I couldn't do it. I kept my wild child - because she is my wildchild, but she loves me as momma still... I sat down on the ground with all of them before Brian came to get them... and I was bawling and crying, just sitting there with them.
Sugarbaby was the first to come over to me and start giving me baby kisses, like she was trying to soothe me, then speedy came and sat on my lap, while snuggling in giving me baby kisses, beedee came up behind me and putting her head under my arm and giving baby kisses...
So, I'm down to 3, there was never a question about Speedy or Beedee, and my wildchild, made my heart turn...

A picture of them at their new home... I know they will be well taken care of and as soon as I get a car again - I'll be able to go visit.
He left the light on for them last night and his wife loves coco (black one) as much as I do - telling him that she'd make beautiful babies even though they had both agreed to no more breeding lol.

And roommate is staying for now... and I still have my speedy, so we'll be fine. I'm able to give them more attention now and not spend all my time with them just cleaning up, feeding them.
 
@Raenh so sorry this all happened. I know how much you love your ducks like your babies. So happy for you that they got a wonderful home and that you can have peace that they will be taken care of. AND you got to keep some! Bless your heart hope things start going much better for you!:hugs
 
Today has been mixed, I got a rental through lyft, so I'm able to start driving for them again... and I have the rent payment, so I just need to work on the electric.

Then as I was driving to go to a friend's house I get a call that my nephew, who just today turned 17, is being life flighted to texas children's houston because he was hit by a car.
He'll be alright, he's conscious, and he's a Toia. We survive everything.
 
Thank you, he's doing good - already b aww cl to being his goofy self.

The 6 are doing great in their new home from what Brian tells me. He put the 3 muscovies in with the others and they get along fine. But he kept the quackers in the same area he originally had them and they like it.
