You better be ready cause I'm shipping them to you.

Be sure to put heat packs and a damp sponge in there!

I'm going to move somewhere else where you can't find me.

Good luck.

Yeah, I've found that I have to raise them myself or they're absolute nutters. If I do, though, they're almost annoyingly friendly if allowed to approach on their own terms. (I have Whites.) One bird decided to investigate while I was painting and got turned partially red by accident! She was a funny bird.


If you're going to have them inside for any length of time, bedding them on sand and sifting it daily will save your sanity and keep you from spending fifty bucks on shavings. Moving them outside ASAP into a tractor type pen is best of all. Makes the whole thing so much more fun and less stinky! Also, be careful with the type of waterers made of a milk jug. Ducklings can fit through surprisingly small holes. I had to cut one of mine out because she couldn't fit through the hole again.

Perfect you can pick them up on your way which will save me shipping costs.

Nooo, I'm flying to Europe and then going from there. Specifically so I don't get anywhere near Texas.

Aww, there there. I'd stop by and see you, but I don't trust Kiki to not cut me off and be waiting for me at your driveway with a dozen messy, adorable ducklings.

I'll put a lookout for her and let ya know if it's safe!
