Fall chicks
We picked up our new Fall

So exciting. I'm expecting a dozen ducklings in the mail next week. My two female ducks have been setting. The male is a Muscovy and the females are regular ducks (crosses, nothing specific.) Their attempts this spring were a next of rotten, infertile eggs. I'm thinking that might be the case again. So I ordered the ducklings to try and get them to foster. The females are clearly wanting to be mothers. Fingers crossed the motherly mood continues through Wednesday morning (which will be right about 30 days.)

Meat birds, I assume? I am contemplating a small batch, but not sure I want those cornish cross due to all the problems common for them, but is it economical to feed other breeds for a longer time before processing? Red Rangers look good,mbut the hatchery is out.
