Flock integration

[Mr.Andersson]

Projects, I can't quite figure out how to copy and paste, or spellcheck with my android.
I believe I succesfully integrated today. All 8 ducklings are fine, I lost one new rooster thurs. The loss was due to lack of water, being spilled, or diet change?
I kicked chickens all out of coop today, and let ducklings have it. About 3pm I let ducklings free range, and my one hen that always sits on the eggs, latched right onto the ducklings. Guess she thinks they are her chicks! Everyone went back to coop at nightfall. Not bad for having the ducklings for 9 days, roosters for 6 days, and chicken hens for 3 years.

I bet that is cute to watch, the mama chicken with her baby ducks.

Have they tried to get into any water w/her around?

 

[Mr.Andersson]

I only had water in a 4" deep rubber dog dish for them. I thought they may try to get in , but didn't. Momma took a dirt bath , next to them thought. They never got more than 30' from the coop today. I tried to post picks, but I uploaded them. Guess I actually have to sit down, at my laptop, to copy n paste.

I love that pic w/the "whole" family! That's a keeper. Maybe submit it for a POW?

Look at the expressions of the hen and the roo in that one pic. It's like he's saying, are you SURE they're mine? They don't look anything LIKE me. And she's glaring at him telling him, of course they're yours. Who else's would they be?

Gotta second that suggestion, Deb!
