    Wild Duck becoming tame?

    I used to frequent these forums a while back when I owned chickens, but it's been some time since I posted. Apologies for that, but you guys were incredibly helpful before so I'm hoping you'd be able to help me again. I'm currently working up in the Northland in New Zealand on a kiwi reserve...

    I have two silkies, I'm honestly unsure of their ages, but I noticed the slightly smaller of the two keeps on burrowing/nuzzling her head into the others rear/back section. They both seem happy enough with this ritual, but what's this all about? And sorry if this is a stupid question, I am still...

    A Heartbroken Thank You.

    I moved into my current shared house about a month and a half ago, when they told me they had three chickens I actually made a joke about leaving a trail of crumbs to a waiting oven (I am a chef after-all) and was pretty nonchalant about their existence. But then I struggled to find work as...
