Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! You are correct Latte: 1.4 - 1.7oz up 21% Casey: 1.5 - 2.0oz up 33% Allie: 1.7 - 2.3oz up 35% - Go Pekin power! But let's not forget the real reason for this thread... Pictures Latte (L) and Allie (R) Casey Allie has something to say.... ...reminds me of another opinionated bird...
I can't remember my other two broods day 1 specifically. I know they raced around like crazy on the pine shavings, but I'm not sure about day 1 after their trip. So it could be either. Casey is really crazy. I reach my hand in the brooder toward her, there is a popping sound and she is standing somewhere else - and always was... I am not sure why I was reaching for that other place... Ducks don't care about paradoxes.
Well the security cam paid off... For two reasons 1. I get to show you what happened instead of tell you. 2. I can watch the little darlings while I type this so it doesn't happen again. Yesterday I tried to make a naris cleaning station. While supervised, the 'lings just pecked around the hole and didn't use it at all. I went to try it again today. Allie had grown enough that I thought I should open up the hole a little so she couldn't get her head caught in it, after all ducks are geniuses at devising ways to hurt themselves. Again they just pecked at the hole and the lid - no idea there was water inside. So I dabbled my finger in the water. No clue. Well I thought, when I first got the 'lings, I dipped their bills in the waterers so they would know where the water was. Maybe I should try the same thing here. I randomly grabbed Latte (currently the smallest) and dipped her bill in the water...
Well it will only take a day or two to outgrow that...
