Well, at least I'm not the only one :-( I got 14 babies who did great for 2 nights & now they're dropping off steadily. I spent hours with them yesterday making them drink & eat & this morning their are 5 remaining. :-( I just told my daughter it must be genetic & not to count on the rest...
I was a very frequent BYCer prior to Hurricane Ike in 2008 when my home was swallowed, including all my chickens, ducks, pheasants & more. It was very painful to say the least. Now, 5 hrs later, and with finalizing my divorce last week I have decided its time for birds again! (And for some crazy...

I lost all my birds (aprox $500 worth ruffly) due to Ike except 3 rouens and am interested in getting a few muscovies if theres any1 near me that has them (any age egg <). The mosquitoes are horrible even w/it being 22* last nite there are still some, so if someone wants to drop me a line I'd...
Lost everything except 3 rouens due to Ike and want to start up again. Curious if any1 w/in an hr of 77630 (Orange) has anything. Chickens and muscovy are my current search.
