I see, well I have two or three that I may process soon.

. My ducks aren't dirty.

But she cries herself to sleep every night because you don't like them so what difference would it make?

I am sorry. logic will not work on me. I have myself steeled against it!

@Sally Sunshine

​

I love how comfortable the babies are around the birds. LOL

​

​

This is my big Tom - we are still working on the "hug your turkey" thing. He likes me, they chase me around like a dog, just WAITING for food... but hugging is asking a bit much from them! LOL

​

​

This is my alpha EE roo - Thing #1. Thing #2, has been hiding out with my cochin rooster and his girls, because Biter allows him to hang out with his flock with out beating him up. If thing #2 looks at the girls wrong, my RIR hen, beats the crap out of him, because her and Biter are tight and she won't allow anyone to disrespect my little bantam Roo.

​

Mr. Silly is working on weaning. But he sure is a friendly little guy! I'm so glad we let him nurse off mom - but made him sleep in the house and hand-raised him with daily contact. He's such a little munchkin. And he likes hugs.

​

​

That faceeeeeeeeeeeee lol

Cute photos!

Local TSC doesn't have it.

I found this on my way out....down to 9 now, assuming none of the others got taken. What in the world would kill, in broad daylight (unless it happened last night before I put them up) and only eat the neck, leaving the rest untouched? Feathers scattered over a 10' area...one of my pullets.

That's the head on the left, mostly intact
Man, sorry Whites.

In the ten minutes it took to get Duckling up... This fell down!

Glad nothing and no one was injured.

Finished making the props, so here's 2 more pics for y'all... Don't groan too loud!

Cute, nice pics Banti

Sorry for the photo bomb but i was out taking some pictures today and thought I'd share

Ironically, i really didn't take any of the chickens lol

Nice poultry collection.

HERE COMES A DUCK POST!!

Thoughts?


Duck house!
Front:


Back:


Not fancy, no windows, two doors (one for ducks and one for cleaning) and nests that I can totally see into because I'm scared of cottonmouths.

And for @Sally Sunshine : the CCL and a pepper pullet? in that tree. That's Monster (EE roo) with them.

Nice duck house!

the youngest babies!!

So my 10 birds would take 6 ml (.2 oz) ? Did I calculate that right?
How long b4 we can resume eating the eggs?

Went out to check for eggs a bit ago & there was a poop with round worms sticking out in all directions.
