They arrived. I know what they are, do you?

SO happy for you! I am getting so antsy waiting for my orders of ducklings! I still need to figure out how I am going to brood almost 30 ducklings

I have a big inflatable pool that I used for my last batch of ducklings but it was a pain. maybe I can have the hubby make a big wood brooder for me

That's what I'm going to say. You're going to have some really huge ducks!

I have never seen a Saxony in person, just pictures. Can't wait for them to grow.

This 10 is the most I have ever had at once, and it's enough. Can't imagine 30, yikes! But it looks like you have some nice ones coming.

Oops! It's 11. I forgot they sent the extra duckling.

I am still amazed at the quality of these ducklings. I have four Harlequins that I got from Metzers ten weeks ago, and I see a big difference in Holderreads vs. Metzer ducklings. I love my older ones, and they are actually beautiful. But I can't wait to see what these new ones are going to look like in 10 weeks. The Saxony ducklings are much more friendlier than the Harlequins. I was quite surprised by that. I can put my hand down in the brooder, and the Harlequins will run away. The Saxony's will come over and investigate. Then, they jump onto my hand. I am enjoying every minute with all my ducks.
