I so totally agree with Ridgerunner. One lonely chick is just sad. I had this problem this month because I had a hen killing each chick she hatched so I took her last two eggs away from her and put them on a heating pad inside with a chick light over them (don't have an incubator}. I figured...

Maybe if you renamed the plants to "Ducks and ducklings?"

I agree. 6Quackers really doesn't begin to express the level of you Adducktion!

For What It's Worth: Flock Raiser. I have a mixed flock of chickens, ducks, and geese. My goose just started laying, and I only have one Pekin drake (need some ducks), but also have chickens, both roos and hens. I went with Flock Raiser due to the waterfowl, but have found all of my birds...

I take tenderloins and cook them with salt, pepper, and butter if I need the fat. Then once they are cooked, I remove the loins and add strong coffee and add it to the pan and simmer until it's as thick and concentrated as I want it. It's more of an aus jus than a thickened gravy. My dad did...

Even I got it and I'm only in my ÷$_'s...

When I have it on biscuits, I cook it with lower salt so I can use more (I don't use flour in mine though) gravy...a little biscuit with my gravy 😁. Of course now I eat low carb so that's OK. I can have all the gravy I want 😋

You wouldn't say that if you worked around all the women I do. If one gets pregnant, then shortly after you'll find several are...it's in the water here...

I have to admit those are some delicious looking sandwiches. I realize I forgot to put cheese on mine, but I ate it too quick to notice til now!☺

Sorry, I was so hungry I took a bite out of it...keto bread, egg and ham cooked in butter, and red eye gravy...I'm in heaven no matter how gross it looks!

Or cook pork tenderloin in a fry pan til done, then add the strong coffee to the drippings and salt to taste and cook to preferred thickness. Serve over fresh buttered biscuits with chopped tomatoes. Yum yum.

I don't name my chickens. They either name themselves or they don't get a name. Until they define a name either by their personality, or special look, or a coincidental event...they are called sweetie or something similar. Big Daddy Roo was named because he was my original Rooster and was in...

Me too. That Cayuga is awesomely photogenic 😍

For sure didn't mean anything wrong. I just know my geese and duck pools are filled with feed, lots of poop, and possibly some mud.😁 ...unless I forget and leave the water hose on

I hate to tell you, but that's not mud...
