we have an old stump in our yard and some kind of fungus or plant has been growing on it. I just saw my ducks eating a bunch of it and want to know if they’ll be alright.
I’ll see if I can ask who the parents might be, although the first response I got was “no clue”. At first I thought maybe a barred rock or Sussex, now I’m not so sure. The second one my original thought was a black australorp.
