Murphy's law

Murphy's law says if i wnat female mussie i will get all male ducklings!
Yep 6 maybe 7 out of 7 are all boys....*groan*.
so they are now up for sale.
Sad to see them go really but i must make room and all those boys well that would be trouble for the 2 girls come spring not to mention the chooks! lol.
Im getting some new babies this week so fingers crossed for at least 1 girl....
The eggs under the mussies are doing well except we lost 1 of the 2 duck eggs so now down to 1 duck egg 3 chook eggs due to hatch on wednesday.Fingers and toes crossed>
The buff drake already named "charlie" travels from Victoria tomorrow then here on wednesday.
I spent this morning putting up a temp. pen for him and his girls who are now named "Lola" and "Lottie" see now shortage of names around here with all the kids.
Also purchasing a few more baby Khaki campbells this week, again hope for at least 1 girl.
The weather has been horrible and hot and the chooks have taken to sleeping out in the pen instead of the shed, probably has something to do with the mussie girls hissing at all and sundry lol.
Things are moving forward at the right pace lets hope it continues,
New incubator in a month or so and im already looking at breeds of chickens and ducks i want to buy eggs from lol.

The list: Saxony (large or bantam)
Runners (i think coloured)
Elizabeths
Welsh harlequins
White campbells

Silkies
Frizzles
Pekins
Wyandottes
Just to name a few lol.
