What would motivate me to spring out of bed at 6:00am on a dark, rainy morning...
drive down the road and enter these doors armed (with a camera)...
to pick up this noisy box with holes?...
15 of these little ladies, that's what!
After their long journey from a hatchery in California...
they were happy to have their bills dipped in water and to get cozy under the heat lamp...
These tiny little ducklings will grow approximately a pound per week and poop on an average of once every 9 minutes...but they are oh! so worth it!!

Although we are only keeping two out of these 15, I always like to have "ducks in training"...
It makes it easier when the new ones can learn the routine from the old ones.
I placed the order with a few other people since a minimum of 10 ducklings is required to ship. I wish I could bring more than 2 into our flock of 3 ducks but I'm afraid our neighbor will not be on board with that (after the mallard incident last year). I didn't want to push it.
Good times over here!
