Hi guys.
I’ve got 2 drakes. They have an outdoor coop with a 2 meter run. In the mornings I let them out and they meander around my large enclosed garden during the day, then they return to the run in the evenings to sleep. They’ve never used the coop, except once when we had a thunder storm...
He’s all better now! 3 days in the sock and he was completely normal. I also fed him scrambled eggs with vitamin e and niacin added in. Keeping him warm and comfortable is what helped the most I think. I literally carried him with me everywhere and by day 4 he was wobbly but almost completely...
He’s doing so good now! He was better after 3 days in the sock and he’s now completely healthy and happy. A little smaller than his siblings but otherwise fine.
I made a TikTok about it, and some updates and it ended up going viral with over 4m views haha. You can see it here if you want x
I have a couple of baskets filled with primroses, I thought they were annuals but I’ve just read that they’re perennials. I want to put some petunia and fuscia into these baskets, can I take the primroses out of the baskets and plant them straight into the garden? Sorry if this is a stupid...

They’re very inconsiderate of our anxieties aren’t they? 😂
He’s definitely making a racket in there! It’s bedtime here I’m gonna try to sleep and leave them til the morning. Fingers crossed I wake up to a duck family x
Oh thanks so much! I don’t mind waiting if I know they’re okay, it’s the fear of not knowing isn’t it! One of them is making a lot of progress now he’s almost out! So exciting. Want to leave them alone but also don’t want to miss anything 😂
