Stay Away from Feed Stores!!!!! *****PIC HEAVY*****

[Lanissa86]

Okay, so Texas star here on BYC told me of a new feed store to go to! The prices were GREAT and they had TONS of baby chicks too choose from! My other feed store only orders around Easter, so I was all excited! I told myself I would ONLY look.....yeah right! I came home with 3 mystery bantams, since the feed store people didn't know what they were...and 2 mystery ducks my son just HAD to have...... So here they are! Anyone want to give the Breed Guessing a Shot????

I am Hoping a Silkie on this one...it has funny looking toes, I think 5?

The Three of them Lined up! Aren't they cute! I have never seen a bantam in person before, so this is so cool! I can't believe how TINY they are! I just love em'!!!

This is BOSS he is a cutie

And this is BOB (my son came up with some funny names)

the first one looks like my silkie. Does it have black skin? the toes look black from what i can see. The are gorgeous little fluffkins,
add on the second might be a cochin

 

[silkiechicken]

Yep, looks like a silkie, two cochins and fluffy ducks to me!

Okay, question for the duck people! The black one is a saint! He is super quiet and friendly... the yellow looking one, not so.... HE IS A CRYBABY!!!! How do I make him stop? I have had tons of Rouens before, and they never cried like this....This is the first duck I have had where I just do not know what to do! Nothing is wrong with the little one, the Brooder is nice and warm for them both..... What else could I do?

The black duck looks like a Runner to me -very erect in stature, lucky you!

 

[Lanissa86]

Yay! I was hoping a runner! When picking them with my son I told him to atleast grab one that stood up funny, and he grabbed this little guy! I sure hope so, they look so funny when grown! He is not really black, the pics make him look so....HE looks more of a rich chocolate color to me... So maybe a chocolate runner? He is such a GOOD duck!

 

[banter]

Give the ducks some worms and dandelions (just a little to start). They need comfort food!

 

[Lanissa86]

Thanks! I will give it a shot!

 

[Lanissa86]

Wait....I don't think I have dandelions growing....Will herbs be ok? Like Cilantro, Basil, Rosemary? I have Tons of herbs in my little garden!
