Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

Is there a need for OS if there are eggshells? My chickens are picky, and don't like pellets.

Probably not. I just like to make sure I've got all the bases covered.

How do duck egg colors work?

I sure hope so. I don’t like snow or cold weather.

Me either. But, I try to find the positives. Like how every snowflake is different. My dogs like to play in it. And. Sometimes it just looks stunning!

Not sure. I dont think there are as many color varieties though.

A snowy landscape does look stunning, but I have to shovel it

I know it can be very complicated. Even duck hens of the same breed can lay different colored eggs. Some will lay green eggs while others will lay white eggs and there’s no guarantee that a duck hen hatched from a green egg will lay green eggs. I’m sure @chickens really knows how it works. I still want solid blue call ducks!

Yesterday I checked JBs bare behind. It looks mostly the same, but, I applied some poultry aid to it - which is a natural spray. That made it look more irritated (raw). So, I thought to apply blue kote just in case one of the others noticed.
Um, they noticed the blue kote. I saw them check her behind multiple times. I also noticed her itching at part of it. So, went ahead and dusted everyone again even though I didn't see anything on anyone.
That tamed down the look of the blue kote. I think she is picking herself. Not sure why though. Maybe she is getting too hot sleeping in that nest box? I need to get on the ball and make a decision regarding the coop.
