do they not care that the other ducks are a different breed?
chickens too?

ooh taking suggestions!

"human"

okay I could move my order up to March 1st if I got only blues, no greens, 14 F and 11 straight run (25 min)

aha i read that as 25 minutes at first

get leghorns
and more than one male, so you have options if one is a jerk

yeyeeyee

@HappyDuckie do you have runners? I love them, but curious how they differ from other breeds. I know they are much smaller than other ducks so would it be to awkward to keep them with a larger breed? And I know they are bred as foragers so would it be a bad idea to keep them in a run?

i was almost going to tag Corbs as well...

Who has Siri set up? You can ask her to call you nickname instead of your name. My Siri calls me “Super Little High Heel Hubly Julie.” I also gave her an Australian accent

wait really? i never hear Siri calling 'me' anything
I would make them clal me 'human'

I've just always heard that chickens tend to stick with their own breed in a mixed flock so I assumed they needed a same breed friend.

I have one. Mine doesn’t have a problem at all, being smaller. She’s very similar in size with my buff. Also, mine stays in the run for a good part of the day- doesn’t have any problems. She does enjoy getting out to free range for a bit every day.

This is absolute perfection

I love these chickens! Their personalities just scream teenage punk with supportive tough grandma! Unfortunately, tough grandma is in chicken jail for eating eggs then teaching everyone else to eat eggs.

Good morning.

Gonna be heading towards a warm up. I have a feeling an early spring is near.

I don’t think so. I have a mixed flock for my chickens. Birds aren’t racist!

I usually free range my girls once a day. I really love runners, so I’m glad to hear things work out for you!
