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

[Kiki]

I can't flipping believe this.
I left my dad and brothers alone with my 2 day old chicks for ONE GODDONG DAY and now one chick has drowned and another is in critical condition.
Wtf. I have never had this problem. And my hobbled chick was mysteriously without hobble.
I think someone royally messed up here and I demand answers

I am going to try to order more eggs because I refuse to be left with only a max of 3 chicks for my troubles.

OH no.
Maybe you need strict rules posted on the brooder door? (instructions)

Nana! I hope you catch that cat bc it sounds like it's raising up its showing its young your property as prime hunting grounds! The duckling is lucky to have you! Can't wait for an update! I'm sure, gimpy or not, it's in great hands! And just out of curiosity (and bc I love cows and I know more than me here do) what type of cattle do you raise?

Yes...I hope you catch it and the new one that came soon!
Can you sit/sleep in the coop and wait for it?

I'm pretty sure I'm not considered the deep end of anything! LOL My name is Dawn which I have in my sig but most people key on user ID and I'm too lazy to figure out how to change it from my last name.

Anyway, rug hooking is an old practice of looping wool through a burlap looking linen to create rugs. It used to be utilitarian but ahs turned into a craft/hobby. I'm just learning. I'll have to go find the picture of my finished project but if you google rug hooking you can see some amazing examples.

Wow...looks very time consuming!

I've revoked their rights to watch my chicks. This is the second time in a row that a chick has died under their watch.
They are ONLY allowed to be in contact with the chick in ICU.

Oh gosh! I hope my nickname wasn't offensive . It just popped in my brain! I'm going to google this and would love to see your rug (that sound dirty when I read it back). Please share though! I'm going to do some googling to check it out! I think I know what you're referring to but not 100% sure! And I promise I won't call you deepend anymore! Sorry!

I used to say it...Deepening.

I'm still catching up.
The drowned one.
Can you put some rocks or marbles or something similar in the waterer?

 

[Kiki]

Not offensive at all, just funny. This is the Santa that i saw and loved so I’m making one. The second is my instructor and a rug she has done. There are so many styles and some truly amazing pieces. People actually do portraits in this
Medium. It is amazing. Look at iloverughookimg.com for a better explanation than I can give View attachment 1509297 View attachment 1509298

I love the Santa!

 

[Kiki]

Yeah, I believe so.
Nobody has explicitly said that I can't order more eggs so I will order some to be shipped out next Monday if he still has stock.

Is this breeder on BYC?
I think I would investigate the breeder a little more.

 

[Kiki]

Finally home, felt good to get out.
The ranch says hi.

He is not. I think the death was human error.
