If I got ducks I feel like they would either make or break my mental health.

Mine do both simultaneously
It's really fun

But really, they mainly make it better, I have a lot of anxiety attacks. When my girls were house ducks, the amount of times I'd get upset and go sit with them to calm down. They'd climb on my lap, chew my clothes, they'd let me hug n squish em. They seemed to know when I was upset.

In fact, when Dougie was a teen, she went through that typical phase of not wanting to be touched much etc. One day I got a text from someone I hated very much, triggered a panic attack, I sat on a chair next to my duck pen and Dougie stood by my side the entire time looking at me and chirping with concern. She let me stroke her, for ages, she wouldn't leave. That was a massive bonding moment with her, and she liked affection ever since.

I've been thinking of doing an aseel ISA brown cross, to see how much the aseel genes fix the bad ISA brown ones, would this be legal? (Since ISA brown are a secret and all)

Welcome back!

Thanks. I hope that some of the eggs in the incubator made it.

You can mix them with whatever you want. They're just not going to tell you wheat they bred to make an ISA

They're actually a secret? I thought that was just chicken people said to make us feel excluded.

Aw. I’m glad they help you. ive tried to go sit with my chickens when I feel like sh*t but they all just run away from me. Or stand on the back of my neck with poop coverd feet.

What day are they on?

It'll be interesting to see that cross. Now I have to decide which of the two ISA browns I'm going to use, probably the feisty one

I'm sure standing on your neck with poopy feet is just their love language!

Nope they actually are. I've know that for years, wasn't sure on the crossing side though. A really interesting mix they are. Not for everyone, but I like their personalities
