Thread formerly known as Hatch day is today

No reason for a sad face. It's all good! I'm pretty sure I actually know the lady.... and if it is who I think it is... these duckies are going to be THRILLED with their new home!!

I'm always happy when I know my ducks are going to a good home. I sold a drake to a lady last summer and she still sends me photos of Sam and his new family!

Aww. I'm not regretting ordering those hatching eggs. I hope I get ducklings that adorable!!! Not that I'll get to meet them until April...

Um... you?

You shouldn't have mentioned chicks at TSC. I must get enough feed to last me til their gone.

I'm heading to the feed store this weekend to stock up on feed and supplies until after hatch day. Once my duckies hatch, I should be able to avoid temptation!

Here's a pic of all 6 new babies in brooder. The "one who lived" is in front. See how teeny it is??

Sweet duckies! The smaller one isn't that much smaller...

I had a runty duckling that came with the batch I bought from a lady last spring. So I went to the feed store and got it a friend: told them to give me their tiniest duckling, which then became named Tiny. Tiny turned out to be a pekin. I also have an adopted duck who was named Big Bird. Big Bird is tiny compared to Tiny!

i get glares every time i talk about the incubator

Hubs usually just does the "la-la-la I can't hear you" routine. Except when I told him I was thinking about buying hatching eggs. Then the lecture began... "Don't pay for shipped eggs until you're sure you can get the first batch to hatch... blather-blather-blah-blah-blah."

Little does he know I already ordered the eggs...

That's so cool! I hope I get updates from the people I placed our ducks with.
