How is your flock today?

[BlueBaby]

I have 3 more mixed "Bad Boyz" males to go. Maybe a smoker this year is in order?

Good idea, and you don't need to wait until Christmas to buy one neither.

So far the BBQ and the Crock Pot are doing the job, but I do love the taste of smoked meat! Crock Pot drake on rice is the menu tomorrow, I have one Air BnB guy leaving today, and another one checking in at 1:00 pm tomorrow. Crock Pot day.

Half the flock -- into the smoker?? Need to hatch more!

I was talking about @416bigbore becoming a hatch-a-holic with my help.

Hatch more, eat more, smoke more! I like the ducks I hatched, very tasty! So far the girls are useless, no eggs!

Between you and me, we could really get @416bigbore started!

The latest additions to my flock - this Marans male is twice the size of the others.

The Dorkings are the next largest. This male is the next largest in size at 6 weeks. He is a keeper, to mate with a nice large NN girl with lots of meat bird breeding!

My question is how do they stay so clean?

Surprisingly they do stay pretty clean for the most part. My guess is the oil on their feathers may have something to do with it?

You are already growing the flock, and you are getting the incubator ready to start another hatch going on Friday, isn't it?

Yes eight eggs in there so far.

I know, it is amazing, considering the mud pit they bathe in!
