Well, my Hubby told me not to sell the ducks and geese yet, but to think about it for a couple of days, so that's what I'm doing. My co-worker isn't mad about it, but said he's kind of disillusioned as he was looking forward to having some ducks. This kind of made me curious as to whether he still has the 4 ducks I sold to him earlier this year.
My husband has a couple of reasons for thinking I shouldn't rush inot selling them. First, is the fact that I'm wavering back and forth about whether I'm doing the right thing or not. Second is the price I gave the co-worker for the birds----$40 for all 10 ducks and both geese. I really should have asked for a higher price, considering that I raised them from day-old ducklings. But price also depends on the market, "supply and demand" and how quickly I want to sell them.
I think it would be easier if the home they were going to was several times better than what they have here, i.e., a pond versus a wading pool and completely free-range versus free-range in a 100' x 100' pen. I don't think they'd have a terrible life with my co-worker, but would probably be in a small pen with the only access to water being what's in their water buckets.
Any thoughts?
Oh, there's still that nagging question about whether or not the co-worker still has the ducks I sold him in the fall
-----they were from the same hatch.
if you could help me out here that would be great. Thanks T.
