Not looking at it. Stuff like this just makes me so mad!

Received my new incubator today and am about to get 24 chicken eggs to put in it (as soon as DD gets home from work).

Might buy some Saxony duck eggs for the second incubator I ordered today.

the person asking for help is not the one who did it , it was her friends children, raising ducklins 6 weeks for a school or 4h project and then suposed to give them to her, she just found out about the bubble baths

That's worse.

That's worse.

You're right it's very upsetting I'm trying not to cry but I wish I could go take those babies away from there and bring them here

We're upgrading an old garage into a safe storage room for grains etc and so I went looking around for a large hammer when it was already dark. I visited the greenhouse and... apparently forgot to close the door.

(You can already sense where this is going.)

In the morning I heard the happy grunting/chortling that the ducks make when they have found some good stuff, and I thought how nice, the spring is really here, they got some bugs - slugs - worms, good for them.

Then I visited the greenhouse

What would have been a month's supply of lettuce is no more. Well some of it might regrow since it's of the type where you pull the individual leaves off instead of cutting off the head. But it was not a happy surprise. Still, it's my own fault, well played the ducks

Sorry for laughing at that, it is a tragedy, my own ducks have destroyed my plants often.

But just the way you described it!

They found the salad bar.

When I looked up why hatcheries don't sell sexed Muscovy ducklings it said it hurts them to be sexed. That makes sense so it said to buy more mature birds so you will know what you are getting. My one was three months old and they told me she was a Hen and she is so I was lucky with being able to make a trade to get her.

I was suspecting that there was an obstacle with sexing Muscovies! - What hatchery gave you this info? - I have asked Metzer's and they answered that they receive their ducklings from an external source unsexed...
