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

[chickens really]

Phew. Only took me all day, but I am finally caught up!
Got to go check chickens. Behave in here!

I'm leaving so it all should be great..Yep, our Coop should be well behaved?...Unless Lisa acts up?....

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

I'm going to do some chores too. I will behave, mostly.

 

[CayugaJana]

Yes I have read that before. My mom still won’t go for one though.

Does she know ducks will rummage around in their own poop? And crap in their water and turn around and drink it 3 seconds later?

Wow that’s a ton! What’s your feed bill a month? Just kidding.........

 

[CayugaJana]

Depending on the season my feed bill runs 100-200 a month. I also have 16 turkeys, 7 ducks, 12 goats, and 3 donkeys. Goats and donkeys receive no real grains and we bale our own hay. Eventually I hope to get back to 50-60 chickens, but not quite yet....

Do they each serve a certain purpose or are some of them strictly for enjoyment?

 

[CayugaJana]

Animals sure do fill up a special place in your heart. I love critters too. My boys are almost as germy as my critters.

Do you have eggs coming out your ears? Sorry for all the questions. Lol. I see you post on different threads and value whatcha have to say.

I go home tomorrow morning

 

[Hybridchucks]

What type of hybrids?

Ugh... I'm terrible at hybrid breeds. ..
Probably... um. . Either red sex links or... Productive reds....

My Dogs eat the Horse poop for the fibre in it and undigested grains..Disgusting but true...Frozen poop is a total treat...Cat poo is a delicacy...
