"Got any grapes?":gig

They get love still.. just no show and telling.:gig I have been spread thin. Son/DIL/GS moved in with us, chicken breeding season & now the pig season.. the goats.. can't forget them:th. I have so much to add to this thread. But , :he time hasn't been on my side. I have been lurking on the...

Photos from 4 am 2 days ago when I was still outside with one of my sows assisting, forgot to pen up the dux..

As this stage... I have one loud honker and two silent-ish whisperers..:oops:

I clean and fill 6 of them everyday. They are staged around the place. Helps them keep clean and cool. It is hot right now.. 95F

Only one is quacking still. The other 2 just whisper bad jokes about me..:gig

They mimic the free chickens. Kinda like a socializing community. I thought introduction would be an obstacle, but no. It's like they are all buddies?:idunno The chickens FREAK OUT and charge the trailer area like seagulls at the beach attacking a sandwich, then the ducks see and mimic them...

All week we have been receiving trailer loads of fresh spent grains. It is getting everywhere. What will it do to the ducks? Hard to free range them with all this action going on, but I don't want them caged up either. catch 22 I don't wish to supplement their diet in the least bit. But they...

:hugs

It's just that I like to experience things to learn first hand. I read pages after pages on hear of how bad it is to have a rooster, "what sex is my bird?-sorry a rooster"- etc.. but I have close to a dozen boys and only one is dangerous. I have one who ranges and follows me around like a dog...

One does. Only one. The smallest one. The furthest way from me in this pic. The ring leader. Where it goes, the rest are following. They have access to acre of property but only go where the leader takes them. Way too hard to get a perfect photo. They don't trust me yet. While I was...

Are you thinking they are all males?

It is confusing sometimes but I think yes.

I have the Duckies ranging now. One of my biggest fears was integration with my free birds. My free birds have an all access pass to all they wish to travel too. The leader of the free birds is named Sargent Pepper. Sgt. Pepper is a big and powerful rooster whom is friendly to humans but...

:highfive:

eye eye Captain..

I'm one of the few not concerned about sex more hoping for all females. If anything, we would like to breed them. All males would not be a burden, only hamper my breeding plans. Their coats couldn't be any whiter. I keep them in very fresh conditions. Starting to get to the point where they...
