Yes...day olds. I will be so happy if they imprint on me and I am duck mamma! That would be so awesome!
Thanks for the warning btw...My hens are all in a separate area in the barn and only have access to a an enclosed chicken yard (enclosed top and bottom) so he will never get to my chicken girls! We used to let the chickens have the run of the place and the flock was decreased very quickly by dogs, coyotes et al. so they have their chicken paradise and no one else gets in (or out). I miss my chicken girls following me around in the garden, but they are safer this way.
If the drake Pekin becomes a problem I will take him to the local chicken swap and he will go to a good home.
Hope he doesn't try and mate with the sister pigs (Minnie and Lulu)! But I don't think they will let him get away with that.
We are used to the mess here...4 messy dogs and 2 messy pigs....no prob!
Hehehe! Sounds awesome! Enjoy your new babies! Their first swims are especially cute too when they jet around like crazy, they look like little leap-frogs!
