In the Brooder
I'm granny jen; living with my daughter and grandchildren in eastern ontario on two acres. We are new to poultry, having acquired chickens geese and a duck through animal rescue and fostering - normally dogs, but the occasional raccoon, snake, pony etc. Our initial arrivals were charming, but we failed as rescuers. Our two Geese ran away to the nearby lake and lived happily ever after. Our two initial chickens were eaten by a very hungry raccoon. So we are wiser and sadder; with three young silkie bantam's (unsure of gender) about 3.5 to 4 months of age, and a young duck of indeterminant age, gender and type. Our duck is particularly confusing. He looks like a female and sounds like a male. He is a buff or campbell, but as he / she is a rescue, we have very little to go on. Hopefully time will tell. My daughter connected me to Backyard chickens, and it has so afar been pretty interesting. In other parts of my life I am a child psychologist, and grow flowers, vegetables and heritage beans and tomatoes, rad a lot, paint, and sew (in the winter). I look forward to having lots of support from you.
