im not home at the moment but i will post photos when i can. she’s been drinking a little but we haven’t tried feeding her yet because her head and neck are kind of floppy. she has been more energetic and occasionally tries to stand/move around
hi, earlier i went outside and found 4 of our ducks killed and one injured (one is still missing). she was laying in the back corner of the house, and i initially thought she was dead but realized she wasn’t when i saw her breathing. she doesn’t seem to have any open wounds, but the feathers on...
spoopy (as my sister calls it) has grown a lot! it’s a little over a month old now, and is starting to grow in its feathers, even though it’s still rather small :) eskimo is also starting to accept spoopy, and they get along (for the most part)
Some more! The first one is Nutmeg (Spoopy’s mom) when she was a baby. The middle one is (from left to right) Lemon, Eskimo, Apples (I think). The last one is Olive and Rex.
Yep! And thank you! My one duck decided she was going to nest, but then abandoned the eggs. The mom is half Khaki Campbell and half crested. We don’t know who the dad is for sure, but we think it’s one of our half pekin, half Khaki Campbell males
I was able to rescue a duck egg after it was stone cold for a day or two, so I think as long as you do your best to keep the eggs at the right temperature, they'll be okay. I found this article that may be helpful...
I have brewers yeast, I added a little yesterday to his food. I’ll make sure to get an accurate measurement this time, thank you!! Where can I find nutri drench?
I’m convinced that they do! Whenever I go out to visit, my hens (especially the ones I gave extra attention to growing up) will come over to me, talk to me, peck at my clothing, etc. They also really love being held, so sometimes if I’m sitting they’ll jump up and want to be pet, haha. Chickens...
