The White Layer duckling, hatched on January 28 in the left clocks in at 58 grams, the younger Buff Orpington duckling, hatched on January 29th to the right weighs 36 grams.
@Magnolia Ducks Yes, you wrote that the poultry-chicks from Ideal are smaller. Yet the newbies are somewhat active, eating, drinking kickin' the larger one's @sses…
That has been my experience. Smaller but more active. My Ideals this time had the zoomies right away. Interested to see how yours grow up size wise. Very happy with both hatcheries and would order again from either. You just give an opportunity to float my theory with a control group. I never had a mixed batch from both.
I have already started a new page to my article about the first duckling-week. But i'm having problems to keep the identification rings on their legs, bought size 6 from Strombergs and the little rascals slip out of them in no time. I will try zip-ties next…
