Wow, that's sad to hear! Lesson learned.
Hello neighbor! I live in the next county over, Lorain. But hubby and I are looking into land in southern Ohio, it's getting too crowded here for us and we want land. Your 18 acres sounds about right, nice find!Hey, I found the Ohioans thread!
I'm originally from the Akron/Canton area, lived in the Cleveland suburbs for 23 years before we bought a home on 18 acres in SW Medina county. We're getting chickens this fall - I have an order for August for Cinnamon Queens, Buff Orps, Cuckoo Marans, and Barnevelders. I hope to add a few Easter Eggers later on (already accounting for chicken math!). Fortunately, I'm only about a 40 minute drive from Meyer.
Good morning to you and I also have pinioned some of my own ducklings. They could still get up about 4 feet though so I might not have taken enough off but the nerve ending is not at the tip of the wing when they are that young and they do not feel it. It's like cutting their toenails. Thanks for letting me know you also have done this. Some people think it is cruel but when the chances of them getting eaten by the neighbors large dogs if they fly then this keeps them safe for sure.
Okay Mark, thanks and I am really Debbie.Just so you folks know you can call me Mark we are all friends here.
Good morning Debbie, I hope you have a wonderful day.
Good morning and I hope your day was wonderful too. My one Mallard Sister has deserted the nest for some strange reason and two of the eggs have been eaten. They are on 1 week of sitting. I got them some oyster shell in case it is a diet problem. I have never had two sharing a nest before so I am not sure what is going on. I was shocked she could even get out of the Pet Gazebo they are in. It has a 6 foot netting around it but only a 3' board for a door. She must of flown over the door and I had recently clipped one wing but she made it out somehow. I hope yours are all doing well.Good morning Debbie, I hope you have a wonderful day.
