# I thought that.
but we can sell 'em for £15 a piece, so I don't think we'll be pieing these babies.

I did tell the kids we'd eat the ones we can't sell. They didn't seem to mind, funnily enough.

# where on Earth
do you buy ducks from? I'm guessing you went to a farm as I don't think I have ever seen any ducks down the local pet shop.

# I agree
but the kids are helping us choose their names...

I wanted to call them either:

salt 'n' pepa
tom & barbara (after the good life people)
or something relating to inbreeding, because their parents were brother and sister, and they are brother and sister and are going to mate. Apparently with ducks, you only start getting mutants after the third generation of inbreeding.
