ducks are NOTHING like chickens

[klf73]

I had a few runner eggs in the hatcher. One hatched and was alone for a whole day. the next day another hatched and unlike chicks the first one ran right over and cuddled right up with the new one....the chicks would have been pecking the heck out of it. I am soooo loving these ducks

1 day old on left and 2 day old on right

They are also nothing like chickens when it comes to cleanliness, but its totally worth it

Awww so sweet! And lets not forget they're nothing alike in the food department! I learned the hard way. Yours are cute cute.

Awh, cute story and pic!

I am new to both ducks and chickens but I totally agree with you. Chickens may be easier to keep, but ducks are more entertaining, more social, and more FUN!
