I have started to mix meatbird-crumbles with the duckling starter food to reduce the protein content. The duckling starter has 22% protein, the meatbird-crumbles 18%. I'm not sure about the White Layers, they don't hold up their wings so tight as the others do. I don't want to have them treated for angel-wing. They're growing so fast!Thinking of letting them gorge on collards every 1st start with an oat breakfast so they dont decibate
Hey! @WVduckchick first needs to take care of her hatchlings!Amelia don’t forget about update we all are waiting
Welcome to the club!Not very well.
Some of the worst mistakes in my professional life i have made due to multi-tasking being enforced on me. Do one thing at a time and do it correct!
She’s doing very well. They love her to pieces. Sorry, I have been stuck to the incubator today, and doing a little sewing in between assists. I also have cream legbar chicks hatching today.
This is the most recent pic of Amelia. She loves her mirror.

Call ducks are a huge challenge. They often need assistance to hatch because of their short necks and stubby bills. So I try to hatch them on weekends when I can devote the whole day to it.
These 2 are in the brooder.

They look so cute! - And tiny! What kind of colors do your call ducks have?
I don't know Hole In The Head was scaling Boris from tail to shoulders and launching off his sholders into the great unknown. Depends on how fast Boris gets bigger. I can probably put them out at 3 1/2 weeks. Out as in the coop.You're too humble! That is a very good picture! Nicely done with the brooder. What do you think: How long will it hold back the Buff Orpingtons?
