trade ya a duck

tempting but ducks don't fair that well at my house. I've tried them a few times with no long term success.

My coast of course.

nope

I would lean towards some type of poisoning or having eaten something toxic.

Hi all, sorry Granny Hatchet, I know nothing about ducks. I've come across some of my chickens dust bathing looking like they were dead and spastic, but then they start wiggling and pop back up. I don't ever see any lasting effects.

But a sad, frustrating, maybe funny story...

Friday one of Gotro17's 4 month old hens died. I offered to store it until Monday, and ship it to UC Davis for her. It went into my fridge. Sunday morning when we woke up, my 11 month old silkie roo was dead. He was doubled bagged and put in the fridge with the other chicken. I tried to ship the chickens on Sunday for a Monday delivery, and found out my local Fed ex store doesn't ship dead animals. Only the store about 15 miles away, but they weren't open on Sunday.

So, I decided to make the 99 mile drive out to UC Davis in San Bernardino, where I had been told there would be a fridge on the side of the building I could leave the birds in. I made the drive. There was no fridge. I left the styro ice chest that was taped shut, with 2 dead chickens, 5 frozen cold packs, lots of newspaper and the submission forms on their front steps.

Turns out that the person that told me there was a fridge there had done the EXACT same thing I ended up doing. The following day, UC Davis had called her and chewed her out for leaving the package on the front steps, told her that there was a fridge she should have used right around the corner, clearly marked.

Well I walked along the front, around the corner to their fenced in, locked corner. Then back around to the other side, to their fenced in area, and there was no fridge. I did call their general mail box and admit to leaving the package on the front steps.

It looked like a bomb....my father told me to watch the news today to see if they called in the bomb squad to check the suspicious package left on the front steps of UC Davis....

They haven't called to yell at me yet....and I haven't seen anything on the news...
