My flock

[HappyDuckie]

I've been slowly integrating the ducklings in with my older two ducks. Things have been mostly going smooth, though for some reason my drake really hates my buff. After I chase him away a time or two, he chills out.

I'm getting a bunch of chicks in the spring. Right now I think it'll be: 20 or so Buff Orpingtons, 3 or 4 sexed as males, the rest girls. Then 20 or so barred rocks, all girls.

I am also getting some OEGBs. Right now probably 5 or 6. I'm thinking 2 BB red, 2 barred, and a black.

And some silkies. I don't think they come sexed, so I'll probably have to get 4 or 5 so I hopefully get some girls. I think I'll get blue, black, and splash. Maybe a white.

My CX, Gatorade, had to be culled Sunday night, along with one of my barred rocks. I miss them both very much.

I'm so sorry, Duckie.

Awww!

Why?

She couldn’t walk anymore, and something weird was wrong with my barred rock.

I’m so sorry for your losses

I’ve been missing my girls a lot recently. Thought I’d post a bunch of their pictures. Miss Blue, first:

this was the first picture I ever took of my Bluey.

The last picture I took of her. You can see Gatorade in almost all of these, they really were besties from the start.
