I got a three year old wethered buck from a friend of mine yesterday. He's a Saanan and is sweet as pie. I was just wondering if there were any websites you could recommend for me to look at.
Last night he kept wanting to come in the house. Poor thing. But today he seems content outside. We've...
Oh, she just showed them the food. They ate for a bit and then hurried back to the nest.
I moved the food to where they could reach it without leaving the nest.
Two out of the nine eggs sitting under my hen have hatched. One late last night and one early this morning. When I went out to put some chick feed out there for them mama hopped off the nest to and showed them how to eat. That part was really neat because she was putting food in their mouths...
I was told "white Indian runner" before I ever saw him, but then I went to pick him up today and now I'm thinking he's either a Pekin or Pekin/runner mix. He does hold himself the way a runner would.
He was raised with only chickens. I think he doesn't even realize he's a duck.
I'm so relieved. Though they're back outside today. My older duck Matilda was frantically looking for them all day yesterday. She's been keeping them well protected now.
I did rinse it out with warm water. I'll pick up some salts later today. I only have two ducklings, so they're always together.
Duckies don't play in my kitchen sink, they're big enough now that they can jump right out if they want. They only play in the tub. :)
