Daily Life of Quackerz and Cheeze (Heavy Pics.)

[Mother_Hen2011]

Ok So my buff orpington hen and drake are a pair to be reckoned with

They love each other more than any thing and live their lives in luxury. They have their own coop and run (Which they dont like using unless my chickens are in it.. )
They sleep in the chicken coop at night and have their own nesting spot.. (Although they perfer to sleep under the roost

Anyways I got them in late April from TSC and have yet to receive an egg from my hen. I know she probably wont lay until the spring time... But was wondering if she might lay in the winter? They are breeding several times a day

and its hilarious to watch!!

(I know weird but still. lol) Im not sure if she lays if I should leave her eggs in there and hope she sits on them (I know they will be fertile.) Or what I should do if she doesnt brood them... I dont have a bator and I dont have the money to hatch them but would like some babies

(You have to admit ducklings are adorable!!

Heres some pics of my love ducks

Hen is Quackers and Drake is Cheese

Always gotta look good for the lady

They never go to far away from each other

Perfect Love

He always looks out for her when shes sleeping in the water

She probably wont lay till spring. there is a good chance she will go broody, but ducks arent the best broodys I hear until a year or two old (hopeing my two hens go broody in spring, they will be a year and a half) they are lovly, I might be getting a buff hen in spring, seeing your pics reasures me I still want one

good luck and let us know if she goes broody

 

[Kevin565]

Me either. Pretty soon I'm gonna end up with whole backyard full of them

Quackerz is beside her self when she cant find Cheeze

So he shakes his head and honks for her!

As she wonders around aimlessly in search for her love

She makes her way towards his honks and finally together at last!
