baby duck with lots of problems

[Miss Lydia]

I got chick's first almost a year ago now (they were two weeks old) got them on August 31st. Then on September 21st a lady was selling Dave and some others but we only bought him, he was six months old then six months later got Lady Duck and let her hatch some babies

How many ducks total? and chickens?

We got the chickens first. Then the ducks years later.

I hope so their eggs are so pretty this is one of the pics of a few of mine i have on my computer one in the middle is goose egg.

Those are pretty I love the different colors. That poor goose those are huge. I'm surprised how big the runner ducks eggs are. Theirs are an extra large egg.

I finally found a plant I've been looking for. Their called a Live Forever or a sedum. I've had them for years but the chickens destroyed all of them. This time I am going to put it up on my patio table out of their reach.
These are my styrofoam heads that they tried to pick clean. I had to put them up before they went bald.

Started with six chickens but sadly two died a few weeks ago due to heat stroke I think..and so now there are four, and we have five ducks total but have had eleven at one point

Aww I'm sorry you lost some of your chickens due to heat. it's been awful this year we even got into low 90's with humidity high. Some of mine looked pretty off my oldest 2 especially are 7yr and 6yrs. But they proved to be tough old gals after all. What part of the country are you in? if you don't mind me asking

So your saying yours won't get on the patio table?? I look out the front door every morning and I usually have about 4 on my table on the front porch and we have a gate in front of the steps to keep them off. Once I had a window box with some pretty flowers in it right under my kitchen window over 4' high on outside walked up to the sink and low and behold there was one of my hens standing in the window box eating. None of my LF girls could do this these were my game bantam hens.

Looks like they pretty much picked those heads clean.

Those are beautiful!

Thank you . Not that I had anything to do with them being beautiful I owe that all to my girls.
