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

They can be hatched in dirt!

It's coccidiosis...not cocci.

@biophiliac start back here... Just skim the next few posts.

I keep eyeing them at the feed store every year.

Buy some!!! Look how PRETTY she is!!!

X2. @KDOGG331 should keep them in a bit longer, wet weather is worse for the cocci, that is - better for the cocci and worse for the chicks. Besides, there's nothing sweeter than their soft little peeps as they put themselves to bed. You want to enjoy that while you can.

That is true!! Their little peeps are ADORABLE!! I love how they all put themselves away at night too

But yeah, don’t wanna risk cocci

Someone skipped a few posts.

Guilty! Are they outside already?

Nope!

No but you used the word cocci and it almost KILLED me.

see! I told you everyone used it like that!! Lol

Por que?

Read back the last like couple pages I think. Kiki and I think glitter? Or debid? All got really upset with me for using that abbreviation lol apparently it means something different.

Enabler!!

Specifically, coccidiosis is the name of illness from infection by coccidia.

Cocci is plural for coccus, a type of bacteria.

Coccidia are a single celled parasite, they are not bacteria.

Does that sort it out?

Oops, She is right, coccidia... my mistake. smh

It’s alright!! I made the same one. They all thought I was nuts lol

I haven't had any chicken go broody ever. My mom had an "Australorp" that was always broody and laid chocolate brown eggs (hence the quotes, I swear she was part Marans).

You also missed where I admitted to committing this crime against language myself... I can't plead ignorance, I just don't always care enough.

 

[biophiliac]

Okay! Maybe Monday? They will be a week old and it is pretty nice.

I brought mine home from the hatchery in Feb I think and kept them in the bathroom for 6 weeks. Mostly because of the weather but I really enjoyed having them so close. Not recommending, just sayin'. They turned into a fine little flock anyway. lol

Wow not ever!? my Buff Orpington went broody like 5 or 6 times one year LOL

And wow she definitely sounds part Marans!

And yeah, it’s just more effort than it’s worth when most people will know what you mean lol I mean, if I was writing an essay or report or something I would probably care more, but it’s the Internet.
