Play Time! ( ')>

I'm still surprised a how playful ducks are.  Today, at 13 days old, Cheyenne took a liking for a cracker wrapper.  :P  She's growing so fast, by the way!  And, she's getting cuter and cuter.  Next weekly comparison is tomorrow.

Enjoy :)

Be Quick to Order

If you plan on diapering your house duck, be quick to order your harnesses.  The baby harnesses should be ordered before the baby even arrives.  Intermediate harnesses (If using IndoorDucks.com) should probably be ordered at the duckling's arrival.  It takes some time for her to make the harnesses and create a batch to be shipped.  I just BARELY squeaked my order into the next batch simply because she was kind enough to bend her batch for me.  Had she not done that, even though there are still several weeks left until I will need an intermediate harness, Cheyenne would have already grown out of it upon it's arrival if I had to wait for the proceeding batch.  So, get that order in.  IndoorDucks.com has a chart for ducks that allows you order an adult harness without specific measurements, of you wish, according to breed.  I will probably order in advance.  You can also wait until your bird is full grown.

Autism Awareness Ducks

April is Autism Awareness Month

Hatch Day! ( ')>

It's hatch day!  I'm so excited.  We're waking up bright and early in the morning to pick the little guy up at Metzer Farms in California.  It's about a 2.5 hour drive.  I'm sure last night was my last full night of sleep for a little while!  :D  Really looking forward to going.  I'm thankful for the opportunity to pick him up in person just hours after he hatches.  The wait seemed like forever.  Today is full of housework and making sure everything is picked up and taken care of so I can focus on him.

Lots and lots of pictures and updates to come :)

This will be his "safe place".  It's large enough so that he can still use it when he is full grown. It can be disassembled/reassembled easily and it's on wheels, so very portable.  (has a top, too)
