baby duck with lots of problems

[pattyhen]

I have EEs that lay a beautiful blue egg. Olive eggers lay a green one too. They also come in batam size.

How many EE's do you have Patty? This is my first year of having them. I always admired the pics of their different colored eggs.

I started out 3 yrs ago with 8 lost one to egg laying problems and another to fly strike [please never want to go through that again] and just recently lost another to most likely a hawk so now I have 5 . Some are going into molt that along with age egg laying has slowed down. One of my EE laid a pretty pinkish egg. 2 laid a cream colored the rest blue.

I highly reccommend anyone that doesn't have a roo in their flock to get one. I just heard Bubba doing the hawk alert. I went out there and there was a big hawk flying around the yard. All the ducks and the chickens were under the bush togeather. I counted heads and everyone is ok. The hawk must still be close because there is no wild birds at all around here.

Oh gosh Patty glad everyone is safe and yes I really think Roos are the best protection for the flock. I was standing at the kitchen window one day and saw my lil game bantam roo leap into the air after a chicken hawk, not sure what he would have done with it if he had made it fall.

I got ducks and gosling first got my rescue ducks from river in 2004 then had one of my scovy girls hatch a gosling for me in 2007 and adopted a game hen and her newly hatched chicks[10] in 2009.

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
