Day 17 - Shake your tail feathers!

I spy some tail feathers on Welshie!

Day 14 - Shit Fit

It's weigh in day, and the Welshie literally has a shit fit. As in, she craps on the floor, then she topples over and rolls around in protest of getting onto the scale.

Day 12 - Duck on a Duc!

 

Because I'm bbbbbad to the bone....

Does this shot count as a "Double Duck"? I'm going to take this bike and flyin' out of this coop!

Day 10 - Duckling Bill Injury

I left the girls outside to play in the duck pen today for a few hours, and this is the result of the playtime.

Day 9 - First day out

The girls have their first day outside in the duck pen.

Day 8 - Side Shots

Quick shots today because I am in a rush...

The Runner...

The Welshie!

Day 7 - Weigh In

I'm a big fan of solid, steady numbers, but I've since learned with ducklings that nothing is ever solid. Or steady.

Day 6 - First week measure-up!

Happy 6th day! Almost one full week old! I think it's time to do a quick little measure up to see how big they're getting.

Day 5 - Cilantro Feeding

Attempted feeding a few greens to the girls.

Day 4 - Getting Cozy

Well hello there!

Day 3 - Good bye Sisters!

Today a nice lady on a large farm responded to my craigslist ad and took away all 8 of the extra ducklings I had. I'm so happy for them - they'll be on a farm with 3 drakes and 3 turkeys.

Day 2.5 - The ducklings arrive!

I ordered 10 ducklings from Metzer's Farms in California with the intention of selling 8 of them. It costs about $60 to purchase and ship 2 ducklings, but $75 to purchase and ship 10. I figured that I live near Seattle, owning ducks is the sort of thing that Seattlites do and it shouldn't be too hard to sell them.

This is how they came:

I paid for them to get "Nutri-grow" gel as well - and the gel was empty by the time they got there. It also had some grassy bedding.
