i have to choose just six from a brood of at least thirteen.....

Yes. In a former life....when I had a little cottage...I thought I would get some ducks.
Off we went to pick the duckies. I came home with 6. I kept them inside the cottage that I was 'doing up' at the time. Ah yes, plonker!!
Each morning I would run them a bath and watch as they frolicked and 'weeeed' around my new bathroom suite.
Each evening, when I returned from work, would be the same. Ducklings whooshing around my bathroom.
They 'slept' in the little bedrrom at nigh time.
They were majorly cute. Have to say.
Anyway, turns out I had 5 males and 1 female!! My Dad identified their sex. Something to do with their tails feathers.
A couple of months later, after the 'thinning out', Hannibal and Esmerelda were settled.. along with Napoleon, the Swiss Cheese plant, who resided in the lounge. The ducks had chosen the greenhouse extension as their perfect home. Who was I to disagree? A few weeks later, they escaped. They decided that their babies were going to be hatched in the open. We knew that nasty Mr Fox was about so moved them back to a safe place. Bad move.
No more sitting on eggs. I pissed them off. A few weeks later H & E mysteriously disappeared...I have been told that they .probably ended up at the local takeaway!!
I have never eaten duck since.
Oh Tracy have a lovely time.
Can't wait to see some photo's of them. I just love runners and think I'd have a hard time just picking 6 lol
Lots of love,
