KCs are known as lousy sitters, so maybe Miriam is a X! 1 of my black & yellows seems to be all black & s/he's a splendid bird (What is it with me & breeding black animals?! ~ my blue beddy threw out black pups & my white goat black & white kids to a beige puc). Because I have an aylesbury drake & these odd ducklings, goodness only knows what I'll throw up this year...Killihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13175513884016706612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583967256794233997.post-45903144805423674582008-12-13T15:11:00.000+11:002008-12-13T15:11:00.000+11:00Hi there everyone thanks for your tipps!

The slaters seem to leave them alone once they get a few leaves - the problem is when they are tiny. <BR/><BR/>Killi - I think my duckies are KCs - they are not pure pure bred -Mirriam has a small dot of white on his neck that comes through in about half the offspring but they are consistenly greenybrown when they hatch. I love their colour so much. And they lay such beautiful eggs. <BR/><BR/>Chooks'r'us thanks for the meme!

It keeps the snails and slugs away. And yeah, move your mulch back until they're well growing.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329997752606696894noreply@blogger.com
