@WVduckchick Please tell your friends i bow and pull of my hat! Absolutely astounding job!
I feel so happy that "little" Daisy is doing so well!
She would not have had a chance staying with her rough-neck sisters in one brooder.
I hope she will thank her awesome parents with an endless supply of fresh eggs, they deserve each and every one!

They love her to pieces. And she said to thank you again.

She still doesn’t really have a buddy yet, and I watched her mostly just swim around by herself, but none of the other ducks picked on her and she looks very happy and healthy! I’m sure someone will buddy up with her soon.

Oh NO! I only meant it good!

I think i know what is going on with my duckies: I wanted to do something good for them and fed them Alfalfa sprouts. If you search in google for "Alfalfa hormones" you find several sources that state:
»Alfalfa plants also contain phytoestrogens, which act like some human hormones.«
(https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/integrative-medicine/herbs/alfalfa open the "how-it works" section)
»Alfalfa contains substances such as isoflavones and coumestans, which bind to estrogen receptors in the body.«

I am devastated now! What have i done to my ducklings!!

Speaking of 2019 spring ducklings, I have 2 Pekin ducks in the incubator and I’m going to get 2 black Swedish ducks from TSC tomorrow!

Sorry, don’t have time to catch up at the moment, but thought I’d share a short Daisy (Forrest/Amelia) video from earlier today.

Ohhhh my gosh that just made me tear up! I cannot believe how well she is doing and she looks so happy!!!! What a beautiful girl!
