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.
