In the Brooder
So I ended up purchasing two sexed KCs from Metzer Farms. The lady I was going to get a pair of Pekings from was not exactly easy to communicate with. So everyone, meet Hershey and Skittles! I was a nervous momma because the post office didn't call this morning like I thought they were supposed to. So I had everyone on the lookout in case the post office forgot to call and they delivered. I was at work LOL. I got a phone call from the neighboring town (20 minutes) saying they have the ducklings and to either pick them up before it closed within the next few hours, or wait until tomorrow morning. Fortunately my parents are awesome and ran up to get them.
I will say, they were a lot calmer (probably tired too, they had a busy first day, traveling first class and everything!) than the original four. They perked up after a few hours under the heat lamp and when they found their food and water, they went to town. I have a pint waterer and I already had to refill it! Granted they probably spilled a lot of it too but still. And after the pictures were taken, I took the rubber bands off, so don't worry about that xD.

) We have had 6 babies for almost 3 weeks and I think that they are KC's but I thought a little input will help....we have one with a white ring around the neck the rest are just brownish and have a hint of yellow if the sun hits them.
