The ducks we all born at the beginning of June so they are close to 6 months old, the chickens are about three...
Thanks again Sylviethecochin. Your input is definitely welcome and appreciated. We haven't ever had a runner hatch, much less to broody.
Will probably wait until it's quite little darker and shoo her off. Keep you posted!
We are devastated. I could go on and on about what an incredible duck Piglet was. He was the one who looked out for everyone else...always. This is going to be tough to get over, but right now we need to focus on next steps and the rest of the flock.
What killed him?
Is it contagious?
What...

We incubated some duck eggs a while back and sadly we only had 1 duckling make it out of the lot. So naturally we went to the farm store and bought 3 more ducklings so...

It is bonded to the mama, so you are big and scary to it.
I'm happy :yesss:and sad :hit for you .
Hubby must have done some bending to get the arch like that . A normal radius for a trampoline is 14 ft so the width at the base would be 14 ft and the height in the center would be 7 ft .

Night trotted through the under growth.
Last night he had again found his mother, but she had not heard his call over the raging storm. Then he had realized: Everyone probably thought he was dead, so he started to go back to River Pack camp, but had lost himself in the storm.
Now he walked into...

Thank you... Sounds like me...Lol
We live in an arch steel building as we build in it. So it's all open during the day. We are back in the woods and if folks actually drive past I think I see fear on their faces..Lol we really are nice people just unorthodox. :confused:

I didn't know much about crested ducks before I had gone and got 2 of them.. I have since learned of thier physical and mental issues. One with a fairly large crest has been having seizures off and on for a while but now they are becoming frequent. It seems that it happens most when it is taking...
