I think only people who have ever owned ducks can really understand that, when someone asks if you replaced your ducks overnight you get what they are talking about now. These things literally grow over night! My husband come in one day and asked "what happened to the ducks?" I got worried and said WHY, what's wrong? He said, they just grew 2 inches while I was away at work. lol My plans today is to get the cochins out into their new home, then stir up bedding again. The bigger they get, the more of a mess they make.
My two LF Blue Cochin girls disappeared two days ago...looked all over for them. Yesterday one of them showed up (she was in the shed because when I opened the door, there she was) NOt sure where she was hiding, I thought I looked everywhere...guess I didn't. Still missing one. Then this morning, opened the door and there was the 2nd missing cochin. I'm assuming they are broody together since they do everything else together. They are like twins. SO happy they didn't get ate though! I was wondering what sort of predator was lurking. We have never had one yet! I believe it's because I have the two huge dogs (a boxer and a choc lab) who chase everything away. They only pred we have had to deal with so far is the neighbors dog who killed 12 of my chickens the first year we started with chickens. The neighbors were great about it, paid us for the chickens and we never seen their dog again in our yard. We do see him running in their yard but he no longer comes over.
