im sorry to.

Evelle how are those duckies?!

 

[Evelle]

my ducks are doing great!!!
mojo is HUGE!! compared to the other WOW!!
vader is still alive and well hasnt really grown much and i knotice that it he gets to excited or if we chace him to long he starts to pant like a dog. but doing great

guess what!! i got another silkie (rooster) but i figure i have enough hens to make him happy..
also got some Orphingtons 2 blue, 1 black, 2 lavander.

im so happy they are clean and wormed i think by tonight ill be able to introduce them. in my coop..

i havent told my husband yet but i be he wont notice 5 extra hens in the coop for a while..
they are still quite younge should lay in march

 

[Evelle]

since mojo is so much bigger do you think he could be a drake??

 

[DUCKGIRL89]

Yay! Vaders ok

did you ever give your friend those 3?

Maybe

any pics?

BTW im taking some of my duckies (two rouens, and the three mutts) over to my dads

(in spring) I dont have room here. Peeps and the welsh harlequins, and the ancona stay here though

I think I will add a ancona drake to the bunch though. He will kinda be a rescue. If I cant get him he will be eaten

and its a blue

then I can send you ancona eggs

I really dont want this pretty boy being christmas dinner

(i told.myself my max is 8

)

Hey give me some advice peeps:

Beaker and Bunsen are totally old enough to go to the duck pen, but the other hens are being a little.... not nice, I guess you could say. They are being bossy and pulling on their feathers when they get too close.

Do you think I should wait to put them in the with adults? Is it possible for the big girls to kill the smaller ones? (really they are not that small...)

 

[Evelle]

yup vader is great!!

just tiny

oh that would be sooo cool!!! (whats one more

bwahahahaha)


QJ im not sure what to do.. if it were me.......... i would wait it out.. put them in at night when they go to bed then when i woke up checked on them if they still are being turd heads bring them in and wait..
thats what i would do..

 

[Evelle]

yes i did give my friend three she named them after the three stooges

she just loves them so much!!!
