None Whatsoever

So all week I have been reading posts on Facebook about people going to their local feed stores for feed and leaving with ducklings. Every post made me chuckle. I was joking all week to Dwayne about needing feed. At the time we didn't need duck feed but we did need dog food. :) The store that we buy our dog food from happened to be stocked with little critters. We didn't know this until we walked in and heard the cheeping and peeping.

Uh oh.

I knew we were done as soon as we heard the peeps.

We have no willpower against ducklings.

None whatsoever.

Seriously, what duck owner can resist this bin full of cute little fuzzy, peeping ducklings?

Certainly not us.

Dwayne looked at me with a goofy grin and told me to do "whatever seemed right to me" and

left for another part of the store.

I mean the man disappeared. I briefly looked for him but couldn't find him.

He left me standing there with two boys begging me to get some ducklings.

Yes, the almost 13 year old and almost 16 year old were literally begging.

What was I supposed to do? No was not an option at this point.

I truly think this was Dwayne's plan all along.

His brilliant idea had me as the fall guy for buying ducklings.

Maybe it's the dog's fault for eating all her dog food!

I'm still blaming Dwayne ;)

(Where was Dwayne you ask? He was off looking for the

bedding we would need to bring home ducklings.)

The innocent box I had seen over and over again on Facebook by duck owners getting "feed".

We did remember the dog food.

So we justified buying two more ducks.
Willpower? No.
Restraint? Maybe, we only bought two!

Besides, we have four growing in the incubator. 

In case you're wondering...and I know you are.

They are Khaki Campbells.

We've named them Hardrock and Coco.

We're really hoping both are hens.

Although we wouldn't mind if one is a drake.

Our total critter count:

7 chicken hens

13 ducks (2 Pekin, 3 Khaki Campbells, 8 Indian Runners)

4 ducks in the incubator

Oh, and one crazy dog.

And possibly one or two crazy duck people... OK maybe four.
