... I need to downsize there. Wasn't expecting a 100% hatch rate. (Plus I want some Lavender Orps... Bwah ha ha ha ha ha.)


I just let Beaker and Bunsen outside for about 15 minutes. It's in the upper 40's here. I introduced them to mama ducks. One of them was calling to them and acted like, "Oh my babies! I've been looking everywhere for you!!" And the other female was jealous of them.. at one point sort of nipped at Beaker. Very good meeting overall though.

That sounds great DG. I want to see how yours turn out before I decide on that breed.
The one mother duck was totally mothering them. Gives me hope for her going broody in the spring. The other one is not really into it at all. She's always been kinda weird though. The mothery one was Edward true love. The other one has jealousy issues.
