(these were a picture of my ducklings the week i got them. its been about a month now and theyre not this small) i had to write a post about my children (ducklings, lol). before i ordered these ducklings, i actually made an incubator (which i wouldnt recommend doing) and i had about 18 eggs. they all didnt make it. first, what a waste of eggs. second, what a waste of time trying to make that incubator!!! i ordered my ducklings from mcmurrayhatchery.com, which sells geese, chickens, ducks, and more. i started off with maybe...11 duckings. yep, it was 11. now im down to 6. theyre about as big as a shoe now, and running freely in my enclosed backyard. chasing bugs, swimming in a kiddie pool, and crapping on concrete instead of the grass. but anyways, im really glad i ordered them. theyre so fun to watch and play with, and just overall raise. ducks are waterfowl; they need to have access to water 24-7... because they drink alot of it. i love them all, and i have my biggest duckling, whom i call "child," lol, who is my favorite! hes growing feathers and his squeaking is gradually turning into quacking. just a update for this month. ill post pics later... :)
by the way, thanks mcmurray hatchery!!! if you ever think of ordering poultry, mcmurray hatchery is your number one stop.
