Thank you! My back hurts and my hands are blistered, but it’s so worth it

Any chance you still need a place for the ducks?

I am only on this thread bc I just scored these two for basically $30. I already scored big time on paying $150 to come take down and haul off a really strong 20’x40’ run, and got all accompanying bird-related things. Then for $30 more, he threw these in. I was excited to find out the one is a...
