DH is going to think I am nuts when he gets home...

April 14th, 2009 at 01:03 am

I went into the feed store after nannying today to buy a couple of metal (dog proof) chicken feed and water bases. These are the kind that go on a mason jar.

On they way out, I noticed the poultry had a reduced sign. Peeking ducks were down to $1 each....So, frugal person I am, I bought everyone they had left. Last week I bought some and they were $4 each. All are females. These are part of the same batch, so when I brought them home (to the rabbit hutch in the storage area of our basement) they were all so excited to see their sisters from back at the store. Right now there is alot of peeping going on in the basement. I also have some baby chicks down there as well, since the weather turned cool and tonight there is a freeze warning out.

On the way home, some broke loose. Ever try to drive a stick shift with a duck under the clutch and another sitting by the gear shift?? I had a heck of a time pulling over to recapture them.

I can sell organic duck eggs for $3 to several gals at church and at the homeschool coop. So I will make my money on them back and then some.

    I laughed so hard at that image!! I drive a stick shift, but can't say I've ever had a duck (or anything) under the clutch! Great deal you found. Definitely the most interesting "clearance" find I've ever heard of!

    I posted one--it acted like it went through, but I can't see it--but there is one on my homeschool blog of one of the girls with a duck.
    If you click on the left to "My homeschool blog" under "sites I enjoy" you can see the picture..

    They are cute. Fun to watch and they lay nice big eggs.

    This is too funny. I keep thinking of the Marx Brothers, "why a duck?"

    Gamecock--I won't--these are for eggs only. Ducks and geese love it here. We have 2 large ponds in the pasture and the first pond isn't that far from their coop. Then we have a smaller pond in the front. 40+ acres to roam. In exchange, I ask for their eggs.....
