Little Chia passed away this morning around 3:30am. He was doing so much better (other than a big squishy belly). Was running and eating and drinking... we were awake at 2am, and then at 3:30 I checked on him and he was gone.
I don't know what happened. I thought he was improving, especially...
Just posting a photo of tiny little Chia, who hatched at half the size of the other 3. He's my favorite. Hatched with what I think was splay leg (couldn't stand, walk, or sit up) The others climbed all over him and pecked at his spots, which would have been fine if he had the strength to pick...
PS. Here's a photo of the two needing a home. We call them Quaximus Prime and Cracker lol They were born October 5th, have an indoor brooder, and have been around people and hand-raised ever since. Eating chick starter and getting spring water with niacin and electrolytes. Both Anconas hatched...
Sounds great!! I'm traveling this week and will be home over the weekend. Do you have some photos of the coop that I can share with my husband? And just to make sure... the ducks will be class pets? And should there ever be a time where you are unable to have them longterm, we will 100% take...

He's too little to want food and water, although I've made them both available plus added nutridrench...
We've got 3! Sadly, we lost one a few hours after it hatched, poor thing. And the last egg is taking its sweet time... it finally pipped this morning.
One duckling is soooo tiny. He's the one with the most black on his head. He hatched last night and is finally trying to stand now. The...
I love the irony of Chicken lol
Someone on here has a chicken named Cracker and that name makes me laugh every time I hear it and I don't know why. I think that may also be a contender 🤣
We've been incubating duck eggs for the first time and today is Day 27 and 4 of our 5 eggs have pipped! We've named two so far:
Kirby and Quaximus Prime
Any name ideas for the other 3?
Also... we will be looking for someone to adopt 3 of these little babies (as pets in a safe and happy...
