Duck Duck Goose! Posted: 07-23-07 12:45pm


I left for lunch a little while ago and went to turn at the intersection to get to my house and about 5 or 6 baby ducks ran out into the street,running all around the intersection all alone and no adult ducks around to care for them.I parked my car and tried to catck them so they wouldn't get hit or anything but only managed to get two.Daaaaum do they run fast! they are so cute and I swear they must weigh at least 3 lbs each! ok,ok just kidding. oh and there is one picture of daltons new haircut and some of him in my sunglasses before he broke them Dalty!!!!! sorry they're so crappy,I took them on my camera phone on my lunch hour!

Awwww, they are darling little ducklings! What a good girl you are doing good deeds, rescuing little duckies! I used to have 2 ducks I raised from ducklings....tho they weren't wild like these ones most likely are. Dalton is so cute! I love his new hair cut.

aww, they are cute! i can't help but feel bad for them and the ones that got away. they're probably wondering where the rest of their brothers and sisters are. dalton is so adorable. he looks so mischievous! are you sure you didn't give birth to him? he looks just like you!

aw, i feel bad for the others, but i'm so happy you managed to save at least two of 'em. my mother did this once when i was younger. she didn't call all of the bunch, either. did anybody bother to stop & help you? probably not, right? how long are you going to keep them for? we had ours until they got big enough to be released into the pond in our neighborhood. i can't tell you if it was days, weeks, or months because it was so long ago. well, congrats & good luck. you're the proud mommy of two baby ducks & a .B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L child. he's a handsome little man.

how long are you going to keep them for? we had ours until they got big enough to be released into the pond in our neighborhood. i can't tell you if it was days, weeks, or months because it was so long ago.

nope,no one stopped to help but they had no problem watching me Laughing

Well I had them in the baby pool all yesterday and then last night I put them in a small stoarage bin I found with some shirts to kep warm.My sister called the wildlife rescue and they said they could come pick them up today sometime.

and thats not my son (sorry I should have been more specific for the newer folk).that is my 2 1/2 yo nephew!

I bet it was funny to see someone running around chasing ducks, and Yes they are fast, very fast. It's sad that their momma wasn't around. We have a family of ducks that lives in the field near my house and mom takes them walking from time to time. They are great! We feed them bread. You are a good person to save them. Your nephew is cute cute cute.

baby ducks are so adorable. last summer we were staying at the lake and this mother duck kept leading her ducklings up to us so we could feed them, lol. she was pretty savvy with the tourists i guess. she would stand back and watch them but wouldn't come up for food herself. if you got too close to one of the babies she would run up and chase the baby away from you. it was the cutest thing ever. hope those little duckies will be okay.

I kinda miss his hair but I like it short. I think the duckies were one of the ones with the ugly red stuff on its nose I use to have these ducks in my old apt. complex that looked like that and their ducklings look like the ones I picked up.

so when do you start the new job girl

aww thanks sadie! No sure when I start the new job.the interview is on Thursday so we will see.I put in for the managers position at my job now and i'll probably get it but if I can get the job at the other place i'm going with them cause everything is so much better there.the only reason i'd stay in this job is to get managers experience,which will look good on my resume.
