New Duckling

[SprigOfTheLivingDead]

One of the eggs hatched. Poor little guy/girl has a little issue with their left leg/foot though and I doubt there's anything I could do. But a baby duck is a baby duck

Sorry to hear that. Its hard to not know what happened so we can avoid it next time. Sometimes we find out. One year most my bottle lambs died. We couldnt figure out why. Next year I was mixing up lamb milk replacer and realized I had mixed it half strength the previous year. I dont think I've lost a bottle lamb since. I felt awful, but I still think its better to know. I hope your 2021 hatches are successful! Thank you for popping back in and updating!

Snow....

Cannot imagine snow! We were 92 yesterday, lol. Thankfully we had a cool front come through last night and today's high is upper 60's. That's MY kinda cold weather! It is pretty though...

Is she okay?

What are you feeding? It could be a niacin deficiency, has you checked for bumble foot? There are plenty of things you can do, are you on backyard chickens? You should sign up, I am Weeg on there, You can tag me, and Fuchsia to your thread if you sign up.

I am so sorry!

I was surprised by the snow! I'm in WI. Are you nearby? I dont follow the news so I dont know how much area was affected by the snow.

SW of the twin cities metro by about 30 min

Snow....

It's funny and irritating at the same time. Luckily my irrigation guy was able to blow my tree farm lines before this hit. I still have tons of stuff to clean up though.

To be fair there usually isn't snow on the ground this early into the season. When I lived in Missoula MT I felt like it snowed every Sept 14th and that was the beginning of winter
