We do supplement niacin! I use the vitamin capsules and pull them open and mix it with their food ☺️ I’ll see if I can get my hands on some B complex!

That’s more and more what I’m stepping towards, she’s happier than a pig in mud otherwise!

Hey everybody! Introducing my “light-fixed wing” addition to my flock (they will all be named after aircraft; bonnie (bonanza), cirrus, piper, otter, and cessna, given out once their personalities come out more 🤣). Now, I have one sweet babe who has presented with issues. One day she had a...

Generally, the babes won’t absorb their yolk sacks until they pip through the shell- hence why it takes so long for ducklings to unzip. I’ve never hatched chickens so I’m unsure if that’s the same with process with them. With both of my batches of ducklings, I’ve always dropped the temp a...

Duck, duck, more ducks, GOOSE 🦆🪿 Adding some photos of my feather babies!💕

I still have nothing but good things to say about Metzer! I got all the babes I ordered and they think it was just a packaging error either in their shipping department or an escapee at the post office ☺️ He’s happy, hungry (bottomless pit 🤣), and growing like a weed!

Sorta crying, I LOVE Maine (biannual visitor and Maine Conservation Corps Alumni) and wish I was there 😭 but am in Wyoming! “Goostavo” has very, very much grown on my heart and has one heck of a personality 💕 Sorry to hear about your losses though! I’ve heard quite a bit of issues with babes...

My little blues run laps around the thing I swear! I’m quick to worry with with them, especially this one because it’s beyond attached to us and it’s the sweetest baby. Good to hear your thoughts on this one and thank you! 💕

I’m truly stumped. //Backstory This spring we let my broody fawn and white runner sit on a nest, producing two eggs around three days till hatch. The eggs were taken out of the coup and put in an incubator due to their being Drakes, but sadly only one egg ended up hatching, producing a gorgeous...

No apologies needed! I’ve always had an incredible experience with Metzer farms and this is one of them, intentional or not! Little Goose has quite the personality and will make a lovely addition to my flock, so will the bonus duckling! 💕

It was just thrown in there! I got all the little babes I ordered and then some… I know wild geese are mate birds, is it better to wait and know the gender of this little one and try and find one of the opposite or just get another one asap? I already have a small zoo including a tortoise...

That’s kind of whatI was thinking!

Glad to know I’m not losing it! I got them last second before I went into work and I just kinda went “huh okay” and then looked closer when I finally got home and decided something is definitely not matching up.

Okay y’all, time to break this down. I currently have a large adult mixed flock consisting of Cayuga's, Silver apple-yard, Black Swedish, Fawn and White Runners, a Rouen, and Khakis. I’m no stranger to the duck world. I had five female blue runners ordered from Metzer farms scheduled to ship...

This is my first one with them and it melted my heart when it first hatched!
