    Black-bellied Whistling Duckling Rescue

    Sorry about the photo quality, my phone camera is not the best... The blue mug with a lid and a paper towel around it is the heat source (a ceramic soup mug). I wasn't exactly equipped to rescue any birds today!

    Black-bellied Whistling Duckling Rescue

    Greetings!

    Greetings and Hello from Texas! My family and I have a little farm in the East Texas Piney Woods region and will be starting up our first official flock this year. I grew up around chickens as a youngster, but as many know, being raised around an animal as a child is much different than...
