I only have cardboard boxes for them though, so those would be papier mache by morning!

I usually use a damp washcloth, myself.

It's not just chicks, I'm also bringing adult scovie. And rabbits. But it's the scovies which will be a pain.

No, it's just how this community centre works. I was approved without an interview or anything like that. They just want to cover their ass-ets in case something happens.

You didn't answer the question. 🤨

If I had known it was going to be so much hassle to register for this poultry sale on the weekend, I would have risked getting myself soaked last weekend!!! Talk about jumping through hoops!!! First, you need to fill out a form, then wait for it to be approved. Then, I had to get insurance...

I'll be discussing this with my daughter.

So you're keeping this one, right? RIGHT??!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :celebrate

Thanks Fluffy... I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the drake. He is constantly fighting with the scovie drakes. And *technically* he's not my duck although my grandson hasn't even looked at them, much less asked about them, since he won them.

Well, that was unpleasant. Let the ducks out, fixed up the fence as best I could, did a walkaround the enclosure. Watched the ducks for a bit and then noticed the distinct absence of a huge white duck. Checked the coops, checked around, checked again. Couldn't find her. And then I spotted...

Mine jump on the plate from practically day 1! Silly things.

Last two quackers hatched, another blue Magpie, and a yellow one (that I don't know yet if fawn since it's still wet). Four remaining eggs are most probably Scovies. 12 ducklings have hatched overall! Rocky start but we are persevering. Oh, and it's raining again.

I'm also thinking coyotes. The time we had them here they were moving through. I could hear them in the distance and over a period of a week or two they got closer and closer until they were HERE, where they stayed for the night, before continuing on. Never had them since (that was four years...

Finished off the Thai rice, so maybe 2?

Been trying to incubate those eggs, guessing which they are since they aren't isolated from the other ducks. So far, those I think are from the Aylesbury have been blank.

No. No more chickens this year since I'm getting my new chicks on the weekend. Except for a few eggs from my blue-egger, because my daughter wants more. But the hen is older and doesn't lay often.

He also looks pure to me, especially with those caruncles! Beautiful colour, too. Male 'scovies do indeed get the size of a goose!

More sad news. The egg that had bruised at the wrong end didn't make it. From the looks of the baby, it probably died soon after. Yolk wasn't even absorbed. Next two eggs are looking good. Babies alive and moving. Trying to decide what to replace the Silkie mix eggs with.

Is this sarcasm? 🤨
