Amy, the Silver Auburn is really light, almost blonde.
You should hear when 20 of them come running through the barn on the matts, it really sounds like buffalos. They are so funny and those LOOOOONG legs, its a hoot.

Guess the number of silkies
And some more dustbathing action from my assorted chicks . The little black one in the back sort of blends in lol
So I no longer have my 2 pekin ducks. They mauled and almost killed a month and a half old slw. I saw them chasing it around that morning before school, but I thought the chick would be smart enough to jump into a tree to avoid them. When I came home that afternoon, I found the chick, covered in huge mats of fly eggs, had a large area of muscle exposed on his neck, missing all of his back and neck feathers, and the both sides of his head was bloodied. I washed him with warm soapy water, and spent almost 3 hours trying to get all the fly eggs off. There were literally hundreds of thousands of eggs. They were all over the poor baby. Some feathers were so matted with eggs I had to pull them. After washing him up and drying him, we brought him inside the kitchen for the night. It's been 4 days now, and he is healing wonderfully and is back freeranging with his sister. Needless to say, the ducks are no longer alive now. I care about my chickens, and they were becoming almost like predators to them.
When and where is this? I am in Anderson, is there a website? It sure sounds like a place I wanna be.......
What a huge Silkie ball! hahaha Love the bathtub of chicks! So cute!
Glad to hear the chick is doing good! I had no idea ducks would be so aggressive to chicks/chickens! WOW!
