Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
Checked up on lil ducky. Lil ducky was under Lone duck. I woke lil ducky up and put some feed in the waterer and lil ducky tried to go swimming while drinking and eating the floating food. I'm pretty sure lil ducky was born this morning, cute lil thing. It's funny how the chicken chicks move out of lil Ducky's way. Lil Ducky runs fast, keeps the chicken chicks on their toes. Who knew ducks could be so entertaining? 😂

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

You guys should get some!!!
I'll really, really, enjoy having them, fly them, and hopefully do a couple wedding releases a summer (Extra feed money). I hope I can get them to earn their keep.
People pay $50+ a bird to release at weddings, funerals, graduations and the like!
Wedding releases would be so cool! I’m amazed at how smart they are!

I read what you said about meat birds too. That’s really smart! What breeds do you recommend for that?

Their very smart, actually one of the smartest animals.

The one I read about was the Texas Pioneer. I'll get the link!
Some other meat breeds are utility Kings, and French Modenas.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
Well, they're not exactly runts are they?
