The Quack Shack

I have read that ducks poop 96 times a day. I have not been able to count the poop ever to see if that is correct but I sure do believe it. lol

supposedly to be every 20 minutes for an adult duck. I have spent hours watching ducks, waiting to see when they poop when I had to check who was pooping a certain kind of poop that didn’t look healthy and yeah, it is about every 20 minutes for an adult, but babies poop a lot more…

I heard from Miss Lydia today and her Hubby heard that the internet is supposed to be restored in 24 to 48 hours. We are praying this is correct. It would be absolutely wonderful to have her back on here. She has been missed sooooo much!!!!

oh i hope i hope i hope hope hope so!
i’ve been going angry about why is it taking so long!

I am sooooo sorry to read this. I had no idea! This is who I have always ordered my ducks online from. I pray that they can recover from this loss.

Trust me, I know the feeling. I have been just so totally blessed to be able to communicate with her during this awful time.

Man I just hate these headlines. First off I'll bet money it did not infect the entire operation. They destroyed them before it got that far.

That's 1440 poops per day. No wonder I can't keep the broader clean.

It affect one farm at the hatchery and they destroyed all fowl at that operation. It was mostly ducks grown for the spring hatch. They will be short for a while. They do have other farms but still a big loss. If you have only 1 bird positive they destroy the whole flock and all eggs. A loss of 13000 birds hurts

And this is so unnecessary and dumb!
There is a vaccine available for the bird flu - which must not be used for birds that might be used for humon consumption.
Eggs cannot be infected, there is nothing more sterile than a bird egg. - if it isn't compromised.
Because the bird population is not allowed to fully experience the infection they cannot develop a natural resistance against that virus.
Once cleared, Metzer will start with a "clean" flock of ducks, likely from their facility in Tennessee, that will again be vulnerable for that virus.
Yes, most likely there were some wild ducks joining their flocks and spreading the virus. Wild ducks are mostly immune against bird flu…
