➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I like to make sausage out of the extra roos. It's easier when there is nothing there to remind you of the bird, plus the grinding hides the more chewy nature of the meat.

Great Idea....

LOL. I would be scared of that too. Makes you wonder what sort of wild things they catch on those cameras?

My ex ran into two people having sex on the trail while hiking once.
How and why I will never know.

It's okay we do the same in swamps all over south Louisiana. I am sure they have more than one butt on wildlife cam.

Right!!!

A very grumpy post office lady just called and told me to pick my chicks up
Guess they had my number all along lol.

Everything is ready. Now to find a ride.
Excuse the mess. I’ve been running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off. Back run wall is secured with hardware cloth until they are older.

Great news!!!

Guys I am in absolute heaven. Ordered 8, got 9. All are in good health. All got a drop of nutri drench and are eating and drinking great. One has an umbilical scab (vent is clear) and seems overly tired, keeping an eye on that.

Currently typing with one hand as most of them are asleep under the other hand.

So far 7 have managed to squeeze in.

I am absolutely giddy. My husband keeps making fun of my little kid excitement but every time he looks at them I see him melt on the inside.

Need some help with breed ID. I definitely didn’t get exactly what I ordered but I’m okay with whatever. I’m confused at who is who though.

Geez, I wish I could have baby chicks again! I love all the snuggles and carrying them around on my shoulders....

Enjoy every second! They are adorable!

I just saw that and came to tell you that they were going to get into it.

They will get into the smallest of places. I had a juvenile duck squeeze into a milk container through a very tiny hole and get completely stuck. I had to cut her out.

I have swimmers.

I may be able to help with this but really need to see them better. From what I see in these pics maybe barred rock, EE, & the yellow throw me but maybe BO.
