I came across the most bizzare thing today. The university i am working at has asked me to raise a pair of baby flamingos 0.0 the mother is due to lay soon and they want me to raise them i think im soo excited i cant think

They are both good parents but its there first time breeding and there arnt many so they dont want to risk it as they only lay one egg. So yes i will be taking them home they also want them to be imprinted on humans which makes caring for them easier.

Don't worry about pond size some of mine prefer little tub of water over their big pool it's cute this oversized duck in little tub but he loves it. Its also where he had his first swim.

This morning, about 15 minutes after I opened the coop I returned with feed with nobody to be found. I went to the woods and found all of my 8 week old muscovy ducklings taking a swim in the creek. It was their first time in there. It was 26* and with the wind chill felt like 15*. Crazy ducklings. I didn't have a camera with me, so no pic. I thought about getting in but whenever I've done that, by the time I get back out to whereever they are, they are done doing whatever they were doing.
