    My tamed duck won’t eat mealworms

    Put them in water. Either toss a couple in his drinking water or when he bathes and let him find them.

    Entry 2 - my mini Zebu, Lolly. She is 10 months old, and she loves food, and annoying me. But she's so sweet and cute that I don't really mind.

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    Well said! And this is also why Olive Eggers and chocolate/ true blue layers should come from reputable breeders if you’re worried about quality. They are bred for quality by selective breeding. Some people do not care one way or another. I personally do, because genetics fascinate me ♥️

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    I didn’t say marans were the only brown layers to produce Olive Eggers, simply just used them as examples because they are homozygous brown carriers.

    Whatever eggs you have will be fine! If the ones hatched are dried off I would go ahead and remove them and put in the brooder.

    Ohhh look at that Sweet baby!! From what I can tell it looks like that’s just membrane that stuck to the shell. I would offer that one a little yolk as soon as it’s ready to eat something just bc it struggled a little more.
