California - Northern

it was very evident from how there tract was hanging out in the end something was ruptured and she was bleeding. She had stayed still most of the day too maybe if I could have attended to her earlier we could have done something but the top of her comb was turning purple the risk of infection and other damage was too great it was easier to say goodbye and end her suffering. Its sad to lose them but seeing them suffer is worse. I give the a good life the best I know how but they are a livestock animal in the end. She was never one of the uber friendly ones which would be even harder to do but after having to put down chicks earlier this year ending her life as I did was the right call and a little easier to make. She had earlier signs she might be prolapsed but it would always retreat so there was nothing to do. Tonight in the state I found her in I would have been surprised to see her last the night. 

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm in San Francisco and have two Pekin ducks and need someone with ducks and/or chickens and ducks to care for my two in late October and until Nov. 20th, 2016. Anyone know of anyone? Happy to pay well to have my two lovely ducks cared for daily.
Thanks.

You would not be able to tell gender at a day old!

I have 6 FCB Marans(French copper black) that are a week old but they are mine!

Lol that's why I put preferably not day old because I don't want straight run. I know I could order some but they always sell as day old chicks. it's frustrating having a 6 chick min when I only want a few also...

My back yard collection is almost complete Last night i grafted on 6 chicks (3 New Hampshires and 3 Welsummers) to my Delaware broody. Only birds left to get are Ark Blues and cockerels for Delaware Barred Hollands. Cockerel spaces are yet to be determined. Coop building is going to be a constant struggle for a while it looks like.

I live in the "true" Central California, Paso Robles. Directly between LA and San Francisco. Still think we are classified as So cal though.
