When I glanced at this picture, I thought it was a hen looking at herself in a mirror! Cute!
That's where I am. I think I am right off Hwy. 20 but it's 6 miles off!
I will not even attempt to catch up. I know how fast this thread moves when I am gone.
Ron- how are the duck eggs coming along?
I've rehomed all my drakes except my 1 Pekin and all the rest are Appleyards. Got my last batch today of SA babies. Love them!
So my count is 21 duck hens, 6 drakes (5 SA and 1 Pekin) but at least one of the SA drakes will be processed for the table. Possibly 2.
So when I am all done with my shifting around I will 11 various layer breeds for eggs, 10 Appleyard hens and 3 total drakes - 2 SA and 1 Pekin. I might try to squeeze a 3rd SA drake in if they aren't too aggressive.
Gave away from of the baby roos I was able to spot in my 4 weekers. Still watching the rest.
I do not know how many roos my broody has with her- I haven't really checked but she has managed to keep all 10 adopted chicks alive.When I spot the roos do I just take them away from her? Will she notice and get mad at me? She loves me now. When I call her name she comes running with all her chickies in tow, knowing I am going to give them all treats. Just nab them at night I am thinking?
Yes! 2 in 1 special edition.
