baby duck with lots of problems

[Miss Lydia]

I had the ideal flock then I went out and bought 9 chicks. Thats the chicken match. I did give away 2 of them because they were roos.

Yep you caught the chicken math fever that is why I stay out of TSC in spring. The feed store I buy feed from doensn't do chicks thankfully.

He grew up on a chicken farm and had to spend a lot of his time working in the chicken houses rather than being out with other boys doing whatever it is boys do. The only place on our property he allows chickens is in a freezer or on his dinner plate.

That explains why he doesn't want chickens. I don't think your going to talk him into chickens then.

My goodness the egg song goes on and on too doesn't it. lol
Never heard any of my ducks and geese sing the egg song they are actually pretty secretive about their egg laying [probably afraid if they let us know where they laid we'll take their egg].Mine anyway.

Definately when a duck lays an egg she doesn't want anyone to know where she laid it. They are very sneaky about the whole matter. It's like hide and seak when I collect duck eggs.

I heard the little voices come and rescue me. I want a home.

The chicks are very loud in the stores.

A friend of Robbies her mom has chickens and she invited us over to see them. I go in the coop area and what do I see but dutch bantams. A tiny little roo and a tiny little hen. I have been looking for dutch bantams for 2 years. I don't know what I would do with them my chickens would probaly peck them bald. I was good I didn't offer to buy them or even ask for eggs if they laid any. Boy that was hard to do. That was a test of strength there let me tell you.

I think we may have a little sub group going on here. Que Sera, Uno , Yoo Hoo and Hershey are leaving Sonny's group to venture out on their own. It looks so cute to see this little group togeather. They are even going out front and the other ducks aren't bothering them. Last night I was throwing out bites of tomatoe to Sherry and Clyde and I hear this familiar voice quacking. There stood the little group with Que Sera the spokes person demanding their share of the tomatoe. I threw them some tomatoe and they gobbled it up. I think they sleep with the others at night but during the day they are getting braver and wandering farther from the others.

Oh I bet that was hard I love bantams and dutch bantams are adorable you could have gotten a large bird cage and kept them in the house like Julies Mini Muscovy-duck- finches.

Eeeeee, so true Patti. Keeping those littles inside would keep them safe from pecking. I have not heard of that specific breed of chicken bird before. Gonna go Google/Yahoo/Bing and see what they look like.

Not my Dutch Bantams but they're so cute and gorgeous. No wonder you were so tempted Patty.
