BlueCoyote 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I had too many drakes so this weekend i decided to sell a few and use the money to buy more female ducks ... i only have two girls and six boys... not good, right? one person that answered my ad came out yesterday to buy a duck (because their pet "rescued duck" is lonely).... they were a young couple and they make their living off breeding and selling and importing expensive warmblood horses. while we were deciding how many ducks they wanted my husband mentions how great the duck we ate tasted - they didnt hear him but i did so i gave him the "shut up you idiot!" sign - well that just provoked him even more. a few minutes later he made sure they heard him ...... and as i predicted they were quite sad and unhappy. the girl even said "now i want to buy ALL of them! ...... my husband was laughing behind his hand and i wanted to kill him. i didnt want to give away that much info. just wanted to sell them a duck and have them take their GINORMOUS expensive thirty foot long truck and get off my property... BUT .... as a result of his loud mouth i ended up selling two more ducks because of their pity!! they didnt want them to be eaten! .................. i also think its funny that these ducks got the proverbial "good home".... with a pond as big as an acre out in the country where they can frolic and swim and live happy ducky lives Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 should be 8 to 10 girls to one boy right, instead the boys were outnumbering the girls, plus they were all related Quote Link to post Share on other sites
