baby duck with lots of problems

[Miss Lydia]

You would have to put Opie in with her and she would be happy.

Patty

And I'll add Sam for some excitement.

I gave them some kibbles and bits beefy bites last night. The bowls were empty this morning so I think they liked it. I'll have to get them some lamb and rice when I go to the store. Mine prefer the scratch and leave the layer for the last. I hope they like the corn kernels I know it's better for them then the scratch.

Patty

I bet they liked it. I met a couple here at the feed store one day who said they feed only dog kibble to their Muscovy's That I wouldn't do, but as a treat and extra protein I will.

Add some corn to go with the eggs and peas and you would have a friend for life.

I'd love that Patty. Even though she is the Top Burd in the yard, I still love her. Has Que Sera left little Goldie alone since the bumping incident?

I haven't seen Que Sera bump her since. It kind of looked like something a kindergardener would do.

Oh good. I am glad. I sincerely want birds to get along and for them to feel safe amongst one another.

I do too I don't like for anyone to be bullied. I want peace and harmony in my yard.

We are getting some rain today which we really need. Both of our tanks that hold rain water to water the ducks and chickens are completely empty. The ducks are enjoying the mud puddles I didn't even recognize them when I fed them this morning.

The chickens are not happy campers this morning. I didn't let them out, I turned on their light and kept the door closed. I wanted to see how their going to do this winter when they are shut up. It's pouring down rain and they would stand on the back porch looking in and showing me how pitiful they look in the rain. I hope that Bubba leaves Coach alone and doesn't fight with him. Jr usually stays in the cage so Bubba shouldn't be fighting with him. There are plenty of places for Coach to hide if Bubba picks a fight with him. I'll check on them through out the day and see how their doing and if it stops raining I will let them out.

I hope everyone has a nice day and hug your ducks or chickens or finch ducks.

You made me laugh Patty I get the same look when mine come to the back door, most of the time it's the I am starved look like she hasn't feed us in months and I am the one who feeds them.

I've never left mine closed up before they have their doors open but they hang out under the wood shed when it's raining or snowing there are a few that will venture out in it but not many. Mainly my older roo and his girl they can get pretty drippy. And poor Opie I wouldn't let him in today because I have a neighbor coming by for a visit this afternoon and I didn't want her to think the dogs got hold of a feather pillow, so he was looking pretty dejected at the back fence. It's raining here to. good for the grass. Ours has actually come up but I have to whisper that.

 

[pattyhen]

Yes the chickens know how to play you that's for sure. They have that I am starving look do you have a crust of bread for us? You know they've been fed and the bowls are full but they want snacks. People food. It works even better when they are standing in the pouring down rain begging.

I'm glad you are getting some grass to grow but your right don't let the chickens know it. Between the drought and the foot traffic here we don't have any grass. The ducks and the chickens eat the seed as he throws it down so that is a lost cause.I know if I put some grass seed in their food bowls they probably wouldn't touch it.

Poor Opie he has been moulting so long now. Maybe you can bring him in tomorrow and put his little flannel jacket on. He looks so cute in that. Give him a big hug and kiss from me and tell him he's still handsome even if he is bald in places.
