Why would it be?

Because males and females are equally loved by me so I feel terrible for being happy that a female survived

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Is it terrible of me to be a bit happy that the last surviving duckling is female?

Nope. I was quite relieved that the coyote a few days ago got a male and not one I was planning to keep

Don't feel guilty about being happy this one survived, the one you give care and affection to appreciates the love and that is all that matters, especially to the one survivor. Love is love, there aren't different grades or levels of it.

Judging from what I've already seen from her, I think she'll still try to let them. I think three LF chicks is a good number for her, don't know if she could comfortably hold more, especially as they grow

They will still try and climb on her back at 3 months old!

That doesn't make me feel better at all...

You really shouldn't beat yourself up over this. I love my males too. That doesn't mean you need to feel bad that the female survived, you love her as well. And it's OK to have preferences as well. Not necessarily gender preferences, but preferences in general. Not all babies will be your favorites

By the way, the conformationally favorite chick has Kolovos's color

Is this good or bad?

Is this good or bad?

Bad. He's technically off standard, but since there's no standard one could argue otherwise. Unless it's female, and/or remains perfect conformationally, without any other male being a close second, it won't get to breed

It's also by far the most vigorous chick, as mentioned before has very nice conformation, temperament seems good thus far, not too flighty, not too friendly. It's also one of Cruella's chicks, and I'd really like to keep the broody raised chicks. Rest assured, I'll try to come up with a good excuse to keep it. I might even go as far as to putbit in a separate pen with a female that almost always seems to throw her color
