My Bird Journey
My Bird Journey
- 2019: I wanted ducks, but I didn’t have the resources to keep them.
- August 2021: I moved house and inherited 4 ducks; 2 drakes, 2 hens.
- March 2022: Both hens began laying. I incubated and hatched out 20 ducklings.
- June 2022: 1 hen went broody and hatched out 19 ducklings. I kept 11 of the total hatched ducklings and built a coop for everyone to sleep in over night.
- December 2022 / January 2023: I rehomed some of my drakes and ALL of my hens, being left with a 6-drake flock.
- July 2023: I rehomed 1 drake.
- September 2023: 2 drakes succumbed to predators.
- November 2023: 2 more drakes succumbed to predators.
- December 2023: After careful consideration, I decided to bring home 2 hens for my 1 remaining drake.
- January / February 2024: I incubated and hatched out 10 ducklings.
- April 2024: I built a new, more secure coop.
- June 2024: I got 2 goslings!
- August 2024: I rescued and brought home a new hen.
- November 2024: I rehomed 2 drakes.
- January 2025: A hawk attacked 2 of my hens; 1 recovered after 1 week, 1 recovered after 5 weeks.
