No idea what breeds it is but I think runner because it stands tall. It wouldn't let me leave it. I put it in the indoor brooder with my bantams and they're like what the heck is that thing I'll move them all to the outdoor brooder this weekend. Waiting for the bantams to get a bit bigger, but that may take a while. I may just put 3 ducklings in the outdoor brooder by themselves.

Just realized I'll be participating in the Easter hatch along!
I have to hatch on certain dates otherwise I can't get my chicks immunized for mareks. There are certain dates where the breeding club has a vet over to give the shots to newly hatched chicks. Just did mareks today for the chicks that hatched last weekend. 1400 chicks were there to get their shots!!!

I hadn't even checked when Easter is this year. It will be a really big hatch! I am getting 30 sulmtaler eggs shipped from Austria plus mine... the incubator will be filled to the brim... about 100 chicks. Whatever I can fit. So excited!!!

Oh my gosh

There's a silver one too but it had a bloody rear-end and wasn't closed fully so I'm leaving it in the bator for now
