Suzanne,
I think it’s been about a year or more that I’ve been by and I must say your photos are beautiful! I’ll have to come back for more. Love your chicken photos. And the ducks.

The babies are so cute!
I hope that those talking about getting ducks/ducklings/hatching ducks will take some time to think it through. Babies are really cute. Big ducks pooping in the kids’ wading pool are NOT so cute. The babies grow up and will need feed and care – and then the adults aren’t so cute anymore. What do you plan to do with them when they’re grown? I’ve seen too many people buy “Easter” chicks, bunnies and ducklings with no thought as to what the animal needs and what they will do with it/them when they are grown.

Suzanne, I hope that considering the problems you’ve had with Mean Rooster that you NEVER get GEESE! They are BIG and they guard their babies and territory aggressively! I had one chase me back into my truck – and I’m pretty fearless around animals. lol This guy came above my waist and with his wing span, up on his toes, I wasn’t going to get into a fight with him. Mean Rooster is a COWARDLY WIMP compared to a Pappa Gander! And Mamma Goose is no slouch herself.

Those little duckies are too cute! Good luck with the lame chick, there’s more hope there than you probably imagined.

I think you need to add guinea hens to your farm. They are a definite free range bird and an alarm system that beats ADT any day of the week!

Your little chick needs a splint. You can see how to do it with bandaid on Velvet Sparrow’s site here:

She has such a great site! It’s all you would ever want to know about chickens and it is so well done, even I can understand it. Lots of pics and info.

Those babies you’ve got there are just so sweet!11

I had one this spring just like yours and it eventually died :( I was so heartbroken…….Try taping her legs together with a bandaid…….you can look up the technique on backyardchickens.com……Supposedly it really can help! Good luck with the new babes!
