Hello all! I've been buuuuuuusy! I took in another retired show rabbit. A Dutch, who is such a beautiful big eyed girl. My ducks are doing well, the males are still living in the orchard, instead of their pen and by the pond... :/ the ladies are getting SO big! They don't even eat baby food...
Yes, pekins usually don't go broody. My pekin girls never laid eggs on land either, always in the water... In the 3 years I had them I got 4 eggs between 2.
Oh my gosh! Poor boy! Never seen that before, looks a bit like a really bad bumble foot, but of courser thats in the foot.... Not wing.
