I figured out a new way to get you birds to start laying this week, just worm them. I have 3 birds laying now and I have to throw them away

I only have 5 of laying age so 3 is a lot, lol

I've been looking at them on and off today. I'm trying to not accidently buy some lol I am really starting to like the blues... Ok i have a "dumb" question here. The lady told me my duckies were 6-8 wks old. I feel like they should have more feathers and not as much dow on them... am i wrong? Is it bc they are a larger breed? I mean my chickens are all fully feathered by 5wks... Dont call me stupid and make me feel bad for asking a silly question

No, they do look around that age, ady. I think they look just right for about 6 weeks old...adorable!
Ducklings to me, just seem to BAM, all of a sudden look like ducks.

Ok good... I didn't think much of it till i was looking at pictures today of other ducks and stuff and some of them "said" they were the same age as my babies but had WAY more feathers! I was second guessing myself...

Chicks feather out faster - duckliings bulk up faster. Energy goes into those growth spurts, feathers come later. And suddenly!

Ain't that the way! It's like they KNOW.
Gotta love their feathered hides anyway.
