Unplanned and unprepared Duck Mother of 2...

[PlanetClaire82]

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you to BYC and all its members for being so willing to share experiences and helpful information. Peepers is grateful!

My name is Claire and I am a 35yr old hair stylist. I live in Mesa, Arizona with my 2 humans, (husband Jens and son Eric), and my 5 fur/feather babies, (2 pittie mixes Piper and Oreo, kitty Jack and 2 duckies Peepers/Munchkin/Munchies and Midget/Midgies).

I am hoping to gather more info to help me in my duck parenting and I know this is a great place for that help. Thank you in advance!
