    Nice. I hear that you know when the hatch is because the eggs quack...

    They look awesome! What breed are they? We had some Pekins hatch over the weekend in our incubator.

    Almost ran over a bunch of them on the way to church yesterday. They were on the side of an on-ramp.

    I have no idea.

    A friend got a pipeline job and had to get rid of all the critters. They dropped off 5 ducks here last summer.

    I never cared for duck.

    Having a fairly large pond, this seemed like a good home for them. So I guess they'd be barnyard animals. Does that mean I need to build a barn?
