How old is Barley?! Is it a female? So you will have a trio!!! Cool!!!!!!!!

 

[Iain Utah]

Barley is 5 weeks old. Not sure if girl or boy yet, but it acts like a girl to me. Will know in the next couple of weeks (as soon as I get down to the vet to vent sex). I bought a trio (2 girls/1 boy) that are about 3-4 weeks old now. That way, if Barley is a boy, I will have 2 pairs. If Barley is a girl, that one boy will have his work cut out for him. Otherwise, I'll put a buff girl with one of my greys (pretty sure for greys I have 2 boys/2 girls).

So... I was leaving to pick up free drake, people come to look at car. People look at car, I head towards drake... phone call. People call from Olympia (an hour drive) wanting to come get ducklings. Got drake, now waiting. Looks like I'll have five leaving.

Blue runner drake is one handsome dude. Without having much time to talk to the previous owner, I would guess he's Holderread. He's beautiful!

Now to try to inhale dinner before duckling buyers arrive.

Oh, and one of the silkie eggs I got from the farm is really a chicken egg. Thanks Easter Egger!

I had my doubts, but it was blue and in the silkie ducks laying spot.

Lucky I looked in and saw the egg pipped.

 

[DUCKGIRL89]

Wow, thats kinda sad it ended up being a chicken egg......... Sorry
