Duckling Diaries: the Life and Times of a Welshie Trio

[BantyChooks]

As far as I know, there are several strains of Maraks.  So many people say they have Maraks without testing to confirm.

It makes the birds act drunk, lose balance and paralyzed from what I understand.  I do know turkey dander is suppose to help ward it off in chickens.

There is a woman 50 miles from me that gets turkey manure feathers ,dander to help ward it off.  Nature is so interesting, Chickens can kill turkeys if you have earthworms and the chickens have blackhead in them or your ground.  Turkeys being the bigger better bird heal the chickens knowing the ungrateful chickens will kill them with a disease they probably got from a stinking dux in the first place..

I am not sure if anything actually kills maraks, I think it is like weeds in a garden, you never get rid of all of them you just want to keep the level manageable.

The moral of the story is  DUX are EVIL!!

BTW I meet the woman with Maraks in a Walmart parking lot 10 miles from here and never touch her, or her car. I leave her the feathers and manure as skedaddle out of there. She is too dangerous to touch or even be near.

Only 10 miles?


So the moral of the story is if you're ever kidnapped by Ralphie, tell him you were just in contact with dying birds and he will drop you like a hot potato....

Dux are innocent beings but that is horrid if they are the culprit. Sad for other birds. Ugh. I'd wear a hazmat suit to meet that woman. It's tragic that a bug can decimate all your birds you worked hard to acquire and raise.

No dux has ever been innocent!

Now Ralphie. One has to just look at a dux to know that isn't​true. There are so many duck people on here it's not funny. Proof that they are precious.

Totally innocent little beings!!

 

[Julie Birb]

See? Proof that another very experienced dux person sees what I see. Look at her fuzzhatchlings of BURD. Dux have a huge fan base.

Wow, we must be twins!

BTW I had my largest CCL hatch ever this weekend.  The count was 96 last night. 16 were whites.

Arugula!!! That is so many. Have they kept you super busy?

Holy Crow! That's a lot of peeps! I've never seen a white one before... Do they still have the chipmunk stripes & eyeliner? Do they have the same autosexing properties? What are you gonna do with all those fluff balls? Sell them? Freezer Camp?

... In other news, the name war for the new peeps rages on. The 2 teenage girls are getting ugly about it. Its evident that the fabulous name Elvis will not be tolerated & has been thrown out of the running (again.) Since the kids are the ones who feed, water, clean & snuggle all of our animals every day, I'll let them fight it out. They've only agreed on one name so far & that's Heihei (sounds like hey-hey) Ugh! Thank you so much Disney.

Heresy. Do they not know said chick would be named after the best singer to walk the planet?

Not to rain on your parade and I apologise for this but Elvis is blech, imo.
