Well sad story, I had my 5 three week old Mallards in the pool for a swim today, went around the side of the house to do some work and after a while heard the ducks squawking, so I ran down and found my Shepherd had killed them all. I'm so bummed.
I never thought in a million years she would do that. She had always been the protector, always guarding them. I guess they probably got spooked and jumped out of the pool, and the chase was on. Can't say it's totally her fault, just doing what she's programed to do.
Anyway I was thinking of getting some Silver Appleyard eggs. Just wondering what they are like. Are they a good choice for people with little experience? Will they get along ok with chickens. Just trying to get some general info on them.
Thanks,
Chris
