ducklings anyone?

I'm posting this for Donna - they still have a bunch of Muscovy ducklings who need good homes. They are starting to grow their feathers but are still pretty cute. We have 3 of them and they are so fun. These are a quackless duck - they just make soft whistles so are very quiet. They love to eat slugs and grasshoppers etc. and are excellent foragers - good to have around the garden. They will also lay 80 to 100 eggs per year (if they are hens of course). They are asking $5 a duckling, 2 for $8, but they are very social animals and really are happiest in groups of 3 or more (but 2 is ok too). You can phone Donna at 250 - 572-3446 if you are interested.
