This is what happens...

...when you don't shake the eggs.

Yup, twelve (plus or minus) more baby ducklings have hatched.  I simply couldn't bring myself to shake those eggs.  No excuses -- I just couldn't do it.  So now we have a whole new brood of babies to deal with. 

We've steadily gone forward with our plans to logically deal with our overpopulation of ducks.  We bought this freezer last weekend and set it up in the garage.  Now we have a place to store all of those hypothetically butchered drakes.
We'll see what happens.  I can't even shake an egg.  Can I do the whole duck slaughter thing???

                                                         I hope so (I think).  Stay tuned.
