I need to catch up.

Baby baluttie number one's feet are um...silly.
Well really just his right foot.
Do I worry now?

I wouldn't worry too much. One of my quail could not get upright and would only be able to be on his side, I waited to see if he would get better on his own and within a little over 24 hours his feet were completely fine. However, they don't always heal on their own and you might have to correct it yourself but I would wait to see

I think I know why the broody killed her chick. She’s not acting like her normal broody self, I think she sat for too long and was going to give up. She still has her fake egg and she has left it several times already this morning. It was just poor timing unfortunately.

I'm sorry- that had to be hard to see.

Freakin dog woke me up screaming at my husband.. yes, screaming.
Need a strangling emoji.

Maybe give his foot a day or two and then consider making a cardboard bootie.

You like bantam chickens? I have almost all bantams - chickens and ducks. I like small breeds. Only large fowl I have are black copper marans, and I still have 2 Swedish drakes.

Call ducks are absolutely my favorite.

Yes, 99% of my flock is all bantams. I just love miniature fluff balls....must be something from my childhood....Tribbles? Muppets? I live by a large creek bed that empties into a State Park pond...lots of mallard ducks, geese, swans....but I never considered having a duck. I could handle a small breed. I have a small water depression on my property and of course there is always a child's swimming pool (presently brooding 3 sultan and 2 buff silkie chicks...well was brooding, they are running everywhere now like wild women)

Pekins come out Yellow.
I'm fairky certain this duckling is a Muscovy based on color and the fact that they are most commonly used for Balut in the U.S

Don't these take longer to hatch?
God I wish we knew what day it really was today.

We’re still peeping over here, with no progress on the shell. This little chick needs to hurry up

Team Balut - 1 and one making progress.
Team Broody Murderer - 0.5 -.5 for the pip.

I'm worried @BantyChooks is going to come out of hiding and fuss at my dash abuse here.
