hey guys. i always talk about my birds but have not posted pictures of all of them and today i have the time so i might as well.
i currently have 8... 4 ducks and 4 chickens. here they are:
First up is Stumble:
I rescued her from our local meat farm when she was only a couple hours out of the egg. She is my first duck and will be 2 years old in September. She is a pekin duck.
Next is Bill:
Bill is my first rooster that i have decided to keep. He is very friendly and very small. His crow is very quiet and he only crows for about a half hour. He is 4 months old. He is a silkie.
Next is Sookie:
Sookie was hatched from shipped eggs under my other white silkie. She is from lavender parents and she is very very friendly. She is 5 months old and is beautiful.
Next is Klutzy:
The name was never supposed to stick but it has.... we have tried to change her name plenty of times but it never quite worked Lol. She is a blue swedish which i rescued from a farm that had over 350 ducklings they acquired and i picked her out of the bunch. She is about a year old now.
Next is my runner.... who doesnt have a name ?ideas?:
The runner was hatched under my silkie with sookie and is one of the best ducks i have. She runs all over with her quick step and is just adorable. She is 5 months old and i believe she thinks i am her mate lol as you can see in the last picture. (she looks low to the ground on most of them because she is constantly head bobbing at me! LOL!)
My newest addition and with no name:
This is a mixed breed duckling that was on the pond near my house. His foot was chomped on by my guess is a snapping turtle and he limps around pretty bad. When i found him i rushed him to the vet and he didn't need antibiotics or anything because it was a old injury. Since it was not a wild breed i took him home and he has fallen in love with my other girls. I believe its a male from the thickness of his head/neck and could be a mixed breed between a pekin/black swed/mallard. He is very cute and i hope i have made him happy. Any names?
Next is Yoko:
She was hatched at my job and was the tiniest one because she was a japanese. i took her home and she had bad feet issues and i was able to fix her up. she is the "odd one" because i only have 3 other silkies. she is very wild and i just let her do her thing.
(the only picture i could get of her)
Last but not least is Mumble:
She is a silkie and was my first hatched chick ever. she was shipped from kentucky silkies on byc and was the only one to hatch. I absolutely love her and she is the BEST chicken ever. No one tops her. She will be two years old in september.
