This is what happens... We have peepers!

[Miss Lydia]

And we still love them

I just realized almost everything on that list boils down to DUCKLINGS ARE FILTHY ANIMALS!

They poop in their food. They poop in their water. They poop on their human. They poop on each other.
They poop when excited. They poop when agitated. They poop when... ok that's enough.

Yep, they're filthy.

This list could go on forever

I'm going to visit The Man today.

Did not see this coming.
Quail to horse eggs to balut. Spring is in the air and Kiki is nesting & incubating.

Leghorns are great layers, but I found them to be very skittish. I had a white one, two brown and two silver. The silver and brown ones were sort-of friendly, but I couldn't go near the white one. They laid lovely, big eggs.

Hopefully mine isn’t too skittish but if she is, that’s okay. I sometimes free range so that might be better. And I don’t really always hang out with my current ones anyways. Though I am trying to get them friendlier ha

Yeah, I've found that I have to raise them myself or they're absolute nutters. If I do, though, they're almost annoyingly friendly if allowed to approach on their own terms. (I have Whites.) One bird decided to investigate while I was painting and got turned partially red by accident! She was a funny bird.


If you're going to have them inside for any length of time, bedding them on sand and sifting it daily will save your sanity and keep you from spending fifty bucks on shavings. Moving them outside ASAP into a tractor type pen is best of all. Makes the whole thing so much more fun and less stinky! Also, be careful with the type of waterers made of a milk jug. Ducklings can fit through surprisingly small holes. I had to cut one of mine out because she couldn't fit through the hole again.

I would be raising them myself but outside this time. I don’t know if that will make a difference.

I'm going to move somewhere else where you can't find me.

Kiki can find you anywhere.

@BantyChooks fly via Ireland. We'll take care of you

I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland.

Yes, I would absolutely take them if I saw them, which is why I'm hopping on a one way flight to Ireland before they hatch.

One way!?

 

[ShrekDawg]

Banty should come move in with me.

Oh boy... Guess I'd better stock up on wet wipes and toilet rolls and kitchen rolls and... shower gel?

Sounds like a plan!

I just got a message from the breeder I'm getting my Andalusian eggs from. He sent them off via express mail this morning and I may have them tomorrow!

 

[BantyChooks]

Banty should come move in with me.

Only if my birds and goats can come too.
