new babies!

[FeatherSwift93]

Some of our older chickens have been passing away, or not laying as much lately...so we got some new babies! I usually incubate chicken eggs this time of year but decided to get some new babies...6 new baby hens and 2 ducks! So excited for this little mixed flock. (Don't worry we did our research and we are feeding them the proper crumble).

Congratulations!

It's always good to do what you're doing! Every couple of years I order hatching eggs off of eBay as we only have one local breeder within an hour of us and I dislike having chicks shipped to me as I've heard of several instances where they've been delayed in our state (WI). It's good to get new genes in the flock as well.

Congrats on your new chicks, so adorable! ❤

Be sure that the ducklings are female and not male, because if they are males they will probably try to mate with the hens and
Rip the hens insides out.

When we put them outside, the ducks will be separated from the chicks.
