Fortunately the nearest TSC is about an hour away from me…

I drive about an hour to town every day... this would not deter me at all

Unfortunately I'm in the emergency room with my DH. Runaway heart beat.

Just saw this now. I hope everything worked out fine?!

And on top of that you are driving upside down!


It is a really rural area where i live, but downtown Charleston is just 15 minutes away…
The nearest supermarket is a 5 minute drive, but they are closed on Sundays.

No drugs are working. They are going to shock him today.

Chicken starter crumble, shredded corn, brewer's yeast. Vitamin/mineral powder in water. Heating plates still at max but will start bringing them lower now.

So cute did you only get 6? When I got mailed wedgie eggs they had fragile sticks all over them but the box was damaged and I only got 2 out of 18 eggs. One silver one gold

We have 12 = 6 + 6 in two containers. After a week they are getting quite strong and inquisitive, trying to figure out how to jump onto the heating plate

I must say though... I'm beginning to suspect that the "Harlequins have a more peaceful character than Campbells" thing is fake. They are loud and active in a way that our Khakis were not (... and they are big healthy ducks today so it was not a bad batch).

I've learned not to trust any of that poop. It just depends on the duck. Right now I have the squirrly Perkins and calm Ancona and Pekin/kacki /runner cross. The more you handle them as babies I think the calmer they are regardless of kind. Though all my runners did run away.

Khaki Campbell Dux are considered the most skiddish breed, but as @Magnolia Ducks already said, it all depends on the individual duck and their experience with you. Milka Dux, hatched and raised by my dux-flock was fearful and rather stumbled and fell on her belly than not looking at me when i was outside. The she got dognapped and spend a week in the house with Chaos and Mayhem. She was being handled twice daily, recovered completely and since then i can candle the eggs on which she is sitting. She and Number Twelve are the spoke-ducks for the flock, walking right up to me asking for treats. And when they see me with any garden tool they turn into little feathered dogs...
