The wife got me good

The TSC near my house brought their chicks out yesterday. Of coure, I rushed there right after work. My DH went along and we picked up 4 little Egyptian Fayoumi. So glad they carry not just the RIR and sex links. They are small but cute.

The ducklings will probably be quite a bit bigger than the chicks when they hatch in a few days. There is a chance the ducklings may bully them, so if you do, you need to watch them closely to make sure the ducklings dont trample them or yank on their down feathers.
I wouldn't really suggest it if setting up another brooder for your chicks was an option though... Ducks get everything wet and yucky pretty quickly!

K I do have another brooder thank you

I'd probably put them in. I've done it before and it worked fine. Some say not to.

Well, you can always send her back on another trip for chicken food.

Nope she's fired. No more TSC for her

Aww.

Your 2 ducklings with the Mohawks are Silver Appleyards. I have to disagree that the 3rd one is a KC. I'm going to say Golden 300 hybrid on that one. There is a very small chance that it's a Welsh Harlequin. You'll know for sure when they feather out. . Cute ducks.

Kudos to your wife for being obedient. She did not bring home chicks.

Hmm it seems everyone TSC has ducks except mine. I was there yesterday and they had some chicks, but no ducks. They also told me they usually only get pekins in.

This is actually the first time I've seen my tractor supply have anything besides pekins. Assorted ducks unknown gender this is going to be fun.
