Oh no!!! who's not doing good?!

I'd go to the Agrifeed, but each time I go that direction, i get caught in a ton of traffic and start to panic a little.

A sick duck? Oh no!

Yeah, the two I hatched out last Saturday. Both had eye and feet issues, but one is doing great now and the other one is going down hill. I think my son was opening and closing the incubator to check on them

Plus I fried out the hygrometer and thermometer so I have no idea how far off the temp and humidity might have been. Before I try to hatch anything again, I will be sure to upgrade my instrumentation...and put a lock on the lid

I'm sorry about your ducks. I think they might have them at Agri-feed. Seems what they get goes fast, so I've been calling. IE- today's Ameraucana batch wasn't delivered. I did see an ad that the Big R feed store in Falcon had ducks last weekend. Worth a call. I'm surprised how many feed stores there are in the middle of a town like this. (it's huge, but I still don't want to admit that I live in the "city"... it just sounds too - HUGE)

I called big r and asked them yesterday if they had any ducks left. They said a few. I asked what breed. They said "Yellow"

 

[chicknsnbiskits]

NICE!

 

[Chirpy]

Oooh! Yellow ducks... aren't those the really rare ones?

At least they know the ducks from the chicks huh?

 

[Wifezilla]

Well there is that...LOL


Well, Tipsy didn't make it through the night. That just leaves my buff/khaki cross. (We think Tipsy was a runner/khaki.)

So far the buff seems to be doing ok. I was thinking about getting it a buddy, but I really need to make sure i don't end up with another drake.

I am just going to wait until I get back from my mini vacation and order sexed Welsh Harlequins.

I already have one Colorado BYCer planning on going in with me on the order. Anyone else want to order anything from Metzer? We need at least 4 more ducks to get to the minimum.

Aw, I'm sorry about the little duck. When I went to Big R in Elizabeth last weekend all they had were Pekins.
