I’m good, how about you? Honestly for some crazy reason ducks are in high demand. I sell a decent amount of chicken eggs weekly.... but ducks! Everyone wants ducks

I’m good. I wish I had a few acres so I could have a vegetable garden and plant some blueberry and raspberry plants. And so that I could add a bunch more chickens to my flock.
How interesting that people want ducks.

I have 3 blueberry plants, 6 strawberry plants, a couple banana trees, and various types of flowers this year. It’s nice. Hopefully sometime in the near future you will have lots of land to call your own.. and triple the amount of chickens you have now

I thought you had 12? Cuz in that case it wouldn't be true free ranging.

She’s raising 2 species at once

Probably a good thing, I've read that Guineas aren't the best mothers.

They’re terrible moms. Thank God for broody Chickens

You have to wonder how badly they were screwed up when "domesticated" at the hatcheries. If wild guineas were terrible mothers the species would have been extinct a LONG time ago.

The one time my guinea hatched them I thought she was a great mother.

Mine always stomped on mine. Even inside a cage or free ranging. But hey, that’s awesome yours was a good mama!

Good morning I guess

I ended up bringing all the chicken chicks inside. They were a liiiittle too much for mama hen to handle. I also picked up 2 more chicks yesterday for a total of 7 (since one of the partridge Cochins died). Sooo now I have- 1 Blue Orp, 1 Lav Orp, 1 partridge cochin, 1 buff Brahma, 2 barred Cochins, aaaaand lastly the Cornish Cross.
