Kaine is my lead drake. He is actually a very good drake, and he takes his job very seriously. He controls the flock. Puts them in their house at night. Faces off all threats real or imagined. And of course makes sure all eggs are fertile. Around the middle of last summer, his hormones...

I just started the thread for the new ducks here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1085992/the-brooding-of-allie-casey-and-latte

Ooops! missed this one first pass, sorry. Nope, no more crested. Tevye will retain his "special" status. 1 Pekin, 1 Buff, 1 KC.

I will get some micro-webs just for you Julie

My work is as a field tech on a pager. I get a lot of my BYC time in on "work" time when I am not being called. When I get busy at work, I am on less. When I get busy at work and at home I am on much less. The weather is getting warmer and I can spend more than 5 minutes with my ducks...

Week from today / tomorrow. They should be @ 24 days incubating today so they are pretty much ducks sucking in yolk and getting strong enough to pip

Inside is just a 6' x 8' rectangle with pooping bedding in it... nothing to see here . The house is just for overnighting so I've gone the route of no food, no water. We tried food and water in the very beginning and they would either spill all their water, or make it inaccessible by filling...

Nine days until my new babies hatch and ship. Nearly everything is ready for them. Got my brewer's yeast, crumble, electrolytes and probiotics, heat lamp, brooder and drinker ready. We are getting some days in the fifties so I put some vinyl stickers on the duck house to "decorate" it.

That platter is so beautiful and tasty looking that they probably stand in the middle of it.

First time with cantaloupe... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1081560/cantaloupe-a-first-look

Warning! Ducklings are preparing to come to this thread!!! I just ordered this Spring's addition to the flock. They will be: Allie - Pekin Casie - Khaki Campbell Latte - Buff Orpington I ordered them from Metzer for shipment on March 7 so they should start incubating next Monday Hopefully...

All great pics, but I REALLY like the first one and the last one.

Glad you liked it. Tevye really is a funny boy.

I'll also throw this one back up, it was a thread I did last summer, but I think there are a few different people here and I enjoyed it... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1013094/tevyes-illustrated-guide-to-hygiene-a-silly-picture-expose

Let me tell you a short story about Roxette. She is a Blue Swedish in my flock. When it is time for the ducks to get treats, there is always some competition and we try to give each duck a fair chance to get to the treats. If those treats are meal worms, that is very hard to do. Roxette can...

Well thanks guys from @pattyhen 's write up, I thought Turbo was injured at birth and lasted a day maybe two. But after @Debs Flock 's and @Julie Bird 's responses, I had to dig back and find the thread with Turbo. Wow! He was such a trooper. Pattyhen, you and your DH did so much for him...

I am sorry. Turbo may have just been a crested like Tevye, unfortunately balance issues and other brain related problems are common with crested and even if he had no crested in his lineage, it is a very rare natural mutation. The videos have processed, and are at...

Thank you, from your avatar looks like you have a little poof-head yourself Once they are loaded on youtube, I will have a couple videos staring him and Kaine (plus the rest of the flock) that I made to help people voice sex their ducks. I expect it will be about an hour or so...

Of course I should shamelessly plug my baby book as a very big drama: When I say plug, I am not actually selling it, I had 2 hard copies made: one for us and one for my mom. But if you click on the picture, you get the whole PDF file for free .

Great story. I can't imagine having multiple groups of 'lings at the same time.
