Post your Duck Math findings in this thread.
Tell us how many ducks you started with, how many you have now, and how you got there. For fun, tell us your predictions for how many you'll have by the end of summer. I'll start:
I started with: 6
Now have: 19
How it happened:
10 - 4 = 8 I started out very rationally with exactly six ducks. Plus one for my neighbor. Oh, and the packing peanut. I had to order a minimum of ten, so I split the order with folks from craigslist.
8 + FOX = 1 Oh no! My first pen was poorly constructed and I lost all but one in one devastating night.
1 + 1 = 14 My dad visited and took pity on my little survivor: He ordered 10 new ducks and a quad of geese for protection.
14 - Sharing with a friend + Holderread + addiction = 19 Several years later, I've raised many ducks, rehomed many ducks, sold ducklings, and built many structures. I currently have 19 ducks and two geese, with more of both coming in Spring.
Prediction for end of summer: 25. I will probably raise many, many more than that, but I plan to keep it under control since space is limited in our suburban location. Ha ha! Wish me luck!
