As of late we've had many drakes and few hens, so there have been some changes made to our flock hierarchy. We sold one drake to a boy who shows sheep and wanted a friend for his female pekin, and we traded one for three birds
Two new ducks and one new chicken!
Our first duck is a runner (we think mix with rouen) who looks like it got a little picked on by the other ducks it was with, which would explain it's tough personality.
They sexed it in front of us and said it was a girl, so I'm really hopeful, but the band around it's next has got me worried, isn't that typical of drakes? Anywho, it's still to young to tell by it's voice, so only time will tell ^_^ It currently lacks a name.
This little duckling is my new pride and joy. She's the cutest nicest little duckling I've ever met! I love love love her. We chose the smallest muscovy to be sure she was a girl. This is our first time muscovy, what can you guys tell be about them/her (aside from the fact that 1) they can fly really well when they're older 2) if they interbreed the babies will be sterile and 3) they are very quiet and excellent fly catchers).
Finally, we got a new chicken as well
She's smaller than our chickens, and they really don't like her, so we're keeping her with the ducks until she gets big enough to defend herself.
