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

Yeah I know they will, but until then I've got piles of View attachment 2006677 in all the laying boxes that are inside the coop.

Ah that sucks! Maybe block them off at night?? Then they’d maybe sleep somewhere else?

Where do yours roost? Closet

the house ones don’t have a roost yet.

Think I’ll build one tomorrow though

It's super easy to build a quick roost, they love anything they can feel taller than the next one to sit on!

Thanks! I’ll try that tomorrow. I think Kiki shared an idea. Although I actually may move them outside tomorrow.

Anyone know if polish are smaller than a standard chicken? I have one but I can't really compare because she's a wild thing

I wanted to maybe get more polish... I still have to wait and see what comes out of these new eggs.

I thought they had standard and bantam polish? The one I have now is a bantam, I could swear my family had a standard one when I was growing up. They have a lighter body though, similar to a leghorn? Not a chunky bird.

Good news and bad news.
Good news - the integration is going well.
Bad news - I hadn't planned on integrating yet.

I put a plastic fence around the garden proper with the 3Ds in it. Letting the big girls clean up the paths and area around the garden (I use the term very loosely). Big girls let themselves into the great big mulch piled garden. They went under the fence. I put a log on it to hold it down. Everyone lived.

Good news - found the flashlight charger in time to candle eggs.
Bad news - lost the flashlight.

Anyone else want to play?

I'm not sure what my polish is. She's pretty small but not sure if she's a regular polish

And hay is done

Have to weed out extra males soon and then we will see what remains of the red and brown tones
