Last night driving home from work I saw a duck standing on a sewer grate and decided to turn around to see if any ducklings had fallen in. To my surprise there were 9 ducklings about a day old so I called a co-worker who helped me lift the grate open and get them out. All we’re doing fine except...
Hi I have an almost 8 week old silkie with bad scissor beak. He is much smaller than our other silkies but he seems to be pretty healthy. He almost seems more energetic than the other chickens too. He flies on the top of the brooder the instant I open it and he is over all just very healthy...
