Well my 25 chicks are coming thru-fri hopfully if the valcano is calm. So I went to the feed store to get some supplys and get brooder rdy for them. WEll I coudln't help it they had baby turkeys and ducks!!!! So I came home with 2 of each hehe. 2 mallards and 2 broad breasted whites.I had them together becuase the lady said icould but had to seperate them becuase the turkeys were picking on the ducks really bad this is day 3 and they are doing awsome!!!

Nope I have never had...chickens, ducks , or turkeys LOL all new to me so ANY advice would be greatly accepted the lady did tell me I couldnt have them with the chicks becuase the chicks can not eat the feed I give the ducks and turkeys. Thankfully my husband was raised around them. but I am main careprovider so I have been doing research. Kindof taking it day by day. I do enjoy them it funny to they in our masterbathroom and I can totally tone out the peeping at night I thought I woudln't be able to in a way the peeping is quit peacful.
 
yes yes ducks are VERY MESSY! I gotta clean the brooder out near the water TWICE DAILY!!!

they are so fun though, they snuggle on our chest nibble our fingers and hair and shirts, and they are so funny to watch in the bathtub swimming around.
 
My dad asked me to go to TSC yesterday for something (dont remember) and of course I walked by the chicks first....... they had a sign up for ducks.... 3.50 ACK! Luckily they were out of them because I've been seeing all these pics and almost broke down and got some

I wish ours were $3.50!! They are $5 each here! I have one baby from a hatch that I messed up, and was thinking of getting it a buddy. I need to, cause the next hatch isn't due for 3 weeks!
