My wife and kids got me the Waterfowl Special (hatchery choice of left-overs at the end of the day) which includes 4 goslings and 6 ducks. I haven't had the time to try to figure out the breeds yet as I've been nursing a duckling that seems to have a deformed foot/feet. It doesn't seem to be able to put any weight on it and I checked that leg to see if it might be broken. Hoping for the best!

Anyways, here a few pics of our newest flock members!


Happy in the brooder!

The duckling with deformed foot (my daughter calls him Bumpy because he keeps bumping into the side of the brooder box) I don't have much hope for him and Cackle (after emailing pics of it to them so they can see what breed it is and what's wrong) is going to refund the amount for one duckling. I called them up this morning and asked what I can do to help it along.
 
The ducks look like they could be Rouen or mallards.

ETA: after looking at the website I am going to say Rouens. And I would say Toulouse geese they looked like mine.
