I think they often aren't sure if she's having a mad five minutes and best ignored, or demonstrating important chickening skills that they should be paying close attention to

Some ducklings have not died and the others are not sad. Mum is indifferent.

Failure to thrive. I had two that just never got bigger than bantam size. Chippy was smaller than my bantam cochin girls. She almost lived to two years old, so I felt blessed to have her that long. D'Barge is full sized and healthy. Of the other two that I had, Barbie was very small and lived around 18mo, Floppy Faye was a little larger and lived to be a little over two.

Sounds like you need a new breeder, those were not healthy.

There were a few.. The neighbours have taken them, which is kind...

Makes it one less thing for the family to have to worry about..

I was the only one Mum knew with a heat pad..
