Wednesday morning the post office called me and said my ducklings arrived a day early.  So here they are!

They are muscovy ducklings, a meat breed that is fairly quiet as they don’t quack like other ducks.  They are a variety of colors.  Fifteen were shipped, but we lost one this morning, so are down to fourteen.  A few are slated to go to the grandkids this weekend, and more young poultry is due to arrive early tomorrow morning: three kinds of chicks and some turkey poults!
