Me too! One of the nurses at my doctor's has chickens as well. She has pics of them in the room where she works, so we talk about them while she takes my blood!
Quote:Thats what I thought too. lol My doctor is kooky! I told her that I have ducks, and she asks me if I know how long they live for. And I say around 10 years, she goes " NOPE 50-60 years". I dont think she knew what she was talking about.
I've heard that geese can live that long, but not ducks? I think 15-20 is what ducks can live for?? But I'm not sure. My oldest muscovies are going to be 5yrs old next month. Although I've heard that with ducks & geese, their fertility rates decrease after about 5 years old...that's why I've got some new juvie birds to add into my flock next spring/summer.
We found out recently that my dentist has chickens. He has never talked to me that much since I started going there 10 years ago. He had a lot to say. I even referred him here, but I don't know if he ever stopped by.
