Well, thats not a bad thing that it may be a boy.... Is it? I thought I heqrx you say once thqt you were getting more ducks... Are you?

So sorry about the chick

just dont kill it! It would be much more relaxing for you if it passed huh? Sending prayers your way QJ!

I just have this feeling he's a boy. It's my inner-ducky telling me. He is demonstrating some boy-like qualities. Like when the dog walks up to the cage he tried to attack it.. and he is very dominant. I would prefer he be a girl though, so I hope I'm wrong. I'm going to get a drake in the spring. I don't think it will be a problem finding one.

And I'm not going to cull the little chicky. She is sweet. I just wish she could walk without scooting her but everywhere. I don't know what else to try to fix her leg. I will take suggestions!

Yeqh, lets hope girls! And I wish I could help with the chick. But I know nothing about spayed legs sadly.

I remember reading a post about fixing their legs by putting them in yogurt cups, might want to do a search on that. Good luck with her.

Hi julie!hows the chicks?

 

[QuackerJackFarms]

I'll try a yogurt cup. I've done the butter cup but it's too big. This is frustrating. The poor thing.

They are doing good. I want to bring the momma and babies in because it's gotten really cold the last few days, had to break a ton of ice in everyone's water today. I think they are happier outside, and momma does a good job of keeping them warm, but it's too cold for me to play with them.

Can't wait for your babies to hatch. My orps are the sweetest of my chickens. They are always underfeet and will pretty much jump in my lap for treats.
