Ducks at My Pet Chicken

[Golden Brahma 64]

Pekins sound nice Just kidding, I would love to see a mother duck raising her ducklings in my backyard one day

I’m about to see that anyday now
I checked on mama duck today to see that one was hatching

I would love to see that big squishy bird with a little peeper underneath.

Sounds gross! I'm glad I won't have to worry about that if I ever do get ducks.

It can get kinda gross, but I have a special tool and muck boots and just rake it into a pile about once a week and either shovel it into the compost or the trash. It's not that hard and only takes about 10 minutes a week. I'm working on a better system, but I need one more fenced area to rotate my birds to in order for it to work. I plan to use the chickens to work the duck run, but need somewhere to put the ducks while this happens.

4 have hatched, there’s still another 6 zipping, here’s a photo from this morning of the first two

I’d say they’d all be hatched by the end of tomorrow.
