Aren't chickens dust bathing a funny sight to watch? CG

Awwww...Poor lil' duckies. I'd be mad because I've got such a soft heart (although like you I wouldn't know what to do with them either) and if I had only known before hand that these were duck instead of chicken eggs then they would have been allowed to continue longer. So sorry you had to...
