The good news is Bunny Bunny is a new mommy today

6 big healthy EE's out, 1 EE and 6 marans left to hatch.

The bad new is Snowy Ducking #4 who is 4 weeks old got pecked pretty bad this morning. I just let them out of the cage yesterday because they were empting their waterer too fast. They were all fine until I went in to get ready for dance class. I checked on them before I left and found him on his back and all bloody

I'm 99% sure he has already lost 1 eye and the other one is injured too. He has cuts all over but the worst is an open wound on his head. Whoever did it was going for the head. There are 2 duckling that are a week older in the pen and then all of the hens, chicks marnas and ameraucana roos so I don't know who did it. I moved the other 4 3 week old ducklings to another pen. I'm not sure what I am going to do tonight because that is where the older ducks and extra roos sleep.

I cleaned up Duckling #4 and he is in th ebrooder in the house under a heat lamp for now. He is breathing heavy but was preening so we'll see. I'm not sure I can handle a blind duck

Sonja, we are not old, we're jsut getting to the good part

But the beautiful thing about it is that one day you will be as old as me and you will have some young whipper snapper making fun of you and then I will laugh

I need to get the chickens I want to get and make sure I dont anything else and get NPIP! Feed store said they would buy chicks and ducklings from me if I'm NPIP and all that other stuff.
