Nice. Ducklings are just the most adorable little birds for sure

Thanks. Yeah, I think some people in the post office see the words fragile or similar and take pleasure in trying to break stuff.

Yeah, I think so too hah

I have a broody duck sitting on 7 eggs, they’re due to hatch on the 15th.

I know the last eggs I had through the mail one of the gals in the post office here I went to get them, she said oh eggs and shook the box I about fainted right there not sure she still works there

If I can get one of my ducks to go broody, I'll let her hatch some eggs. Unfortunately they wouldn't be hers as I don't have any viable drakes, so I would have to get some.

Yeah, they either don't know better or are being cruel. I try to give a benefit of the doubt when possible.

I have actually read on some seller’s sites that they don’t mark boxes as fragile since those ones actually usually, ironically, seem to be treated worse!!

I have heard this as well! Can't believe some people!!

Oh, she's gorgeous! She looks awfully serious, too!

I'd've been tempted to grab the box right out of her hands!

My big orpington girl is broody and has been sitting on muscovy eggs. Ebony (in the background) decided to join her and add more eggs to the nest lol. I candled tonight and moved the fresh eggs to a different nest so hopefully Ebony will start laying there instead. My big blue lady has 7 eggs with strong veining
