My chicks turn a month old on the 15th.

Awesome

Time flies and then they do.

Indeed it does.

Is it just me or does this one look a little suspicious?

Big Mama laid an egg today Her ducklings are only 9 days old.

Update on my quest to find a hatchery to order from: Turns out the only hatchery I can order from that has turkens and doesn't require me ordering 15 chicks is Cackle but their minimum for EACH breed is 3. Now I can only choose two different breeds, but at least I'll be getting 6 chicks instead of 5. I'm choosing 3 turkens (SO EXCITED), and 3 buff orpingtons. I WANTED buff silkies but their minimum is 5 soooo I wouldn't be able to get them with the turkens. I also can't get Cochins because they are all unsexed and mom said they MUST be all females. AND THEN I wanted brahmas but they only have Light brahmas available and my sisters would kill me if I didn't get a buff chicken. *long sigh* now I need to get buff orpingtons instead.

Cool! Does it usually take a while for them to start laying eggs again?

It was four or five months before she laid last time.

Usually, because they are still on the mode of raising-ducklings, and their hormones tell them that don't have time for a new clutch....
I never get more eggs from my duck at all after she has hatched until the next laying season- usually 4 months.
