Move over John & Kate plus 8...


What would you think if you got a phone call from the US Government at 5:03am on a Wednesday Morning?
Lots of things ran through my head...

Did I mess up our taxes??
Do I have a traffic ticket I forgot about??
Is someone I know in jail??
Did someone report me for ripping that tag off my mattress??
I was at a loss...


Luckily, it was just the Postmaster from the Post Office, telling me I had a package... .
A very noisy package.
Would I please come get it?...
Right NOW?!
Otis the Boston Terrier was intrigued.
He was suspicious of the noisy box.
He inspected it the second we brought it into the house.

It was the chicks and ducks!
The cute day-old baby chicks and ducklings are here!
Yippee!!

Is there anything cuter than the first baby chicks and ducklings of the season?
I think not!


Guss the Pug puppy has never seen day-old chicks and ducklings..
He thought they looked tasty.
hmmm we'll have to work on that.

More pics soon and I'll introduce you to the three other new critters that have joined out crew this week too!

Yep... that's 63 new additions to our family this week alone!

Busy & interesting times folks....

  8. They are so cute!! Where do you order your ducks from? I have a male Rouen duck and am in need of some females. I'd really appreciate any help you can give me.
