I'm so blessed to have this forum with so many caring people to support me... Raising birds is a special thing that many who haven't done it could never quite understand completely so I can't really just walk down the street and talk to random people about it
They were originally to be used for laying but one had an issue with some metal ingestion so I was like "OK let's not waste her and" harvest" her because I plan to get more and I figured I'd have to have the males harvested eventually if I purchased a few non sexed hatchlings but I feel bad...
Just had someone slaughter a duck for me... First one out of the four I bought last spring ... Didn't watch .. Turned around but I heard it die then watched them butcher it ... Looking out at my flock of only three now... Could use a hug
