Overexcited

In just under a week we are getting some new little playmates for Crispy the duck. MM is getting the garden prepared and making them a nice little secure run. He is getting their feed and water container sorted. They will be Black Belgian Bantam chicks. I am doing absolutely nothing to help except hug myself every time I think of them - oops, I feel a squeal coming on too.

I think they may look like this:

ooooohhhhh, how cute! Crispy will be happy!

I had to relay your story of Barbie to my parents in law. They have two new chickens and a few long term ducks and geese (the river lark runs through their garden for some reason). The chickens have only been there a few weeks, but are already investigating the river... oh dear...

"Crispy" is an excellent name for a duck. Looking forward to hearing what you are going to call the new additions.
