Nate. Do you have chickens in NYC?

Justme! Good luck with your Call eggs!
It took my ducklings until today to get on their little webbed feet, but they did it!

What good little ducklings

 

[easttxchick]

I just wasn't sure if they were going to be able to or not. I was pretty worried. My little Self-Black baby was in there cheering everyone on. I think they finally got on their feet because they were tired of him stomping them in the face.

lol, silly baby. The one I hatched last weekend took it's sweet time getting up. It's doing good now but it is 1/3 the size of the 2 that are a week older. I have no idea what I am going to do with the babies I hatch this weekend. And then what am I going to do with 14 marans chicks

How long has it been since Easter? I can probably open up the coop brooder and let that batch out to start integrating.

I've got the, "Oh no, I had too many separate hatches and now I have nowhere to put all of these different sized babies" syndrome myself. Having to rethink and reconfigure right now until everyone is more of the same size.

I just found out Button Quail can lose feathers if you hold them... It's some kind of stress measure thing?

Luckly the big ducklings are integrated with the adult ducks and the 1st 2 batches of chicks are integrated int he main coop. I only have the 8 Easter chicks in the coop brooder and 3 ducklings and 1 chick in the inside brooder. I am going to move them out this weekend but I have to gigure out where to put them. My goat barn is moved and ready to go but it came with bonus junk thrown in it so I have to clean it out.
