Good grief the flights of nature! Wait til the turkeys begin to quack and you can call them "quirkies." I give the duckling an "A" for adaptability and independence.

Reminds me of a website I found when surfing looking for goose info. All about a drake that took up with a goose...

Here is a link that might be useful: Delusions of Gander

I keep thinking about if you got a turkey and it was taken
in by a group of ducks you could name it Tuck.

So-- as many on here know, this spring, i bought a baby guinea to raise with my baby banties-- is it a Binny?

Boy, Oh Boy!!!! This is really Neat, to hear, that I am not the only person, that has weird stuff on the farm.
The storys are great to hear, of all the other things, that are out there, that have all gone over to the other side!!!!!!

I told my wife we could get a cow from England
and name it Loin. We could have it knighted and then it would be

Sir Loin

Bwahahahahahaha......

When my parents were cutting and wrapping a side of beef for the freezer, my younger sister always wrote "Sir Lion" on the sirloin steak packages. A family joke.

And if the above posts are correct, my gosling Willow, who was hatched and raised for the first month by a Speckled Sussex hen, narrowly missed becoming either a ghick or a chosling! Fortunately we found her a couple of goose playmates and she has recovered her rightful identity. Her hen mother avoids the goose pen now, although lots of other hens drop by to socialize.

It's the heat, humidity and smog... always makes me a little crazy! LOL

We had a chicken hatch a mallard his name was CHUCK..-

We had a rabbit that took up with our kittens...he did everything they did...ate their cat food, drank their milk, slept with them...until the day the kittens climbed a tree...LOL...he just sat at the base of the tree and looked up......it was soooo funny.

I have ducks in with my chickens. Along one wall of the chicken house, just under the window, we put a 12" wide board with about a 2" lip. On this board, I keep peatmoss. For the ducks to get up to the board, we have a ramp with strips of wood so they can walk up the ramp. The chickens roost runs from the board over to the other side of the chicken house. (The chicken house started out with a truck canopy for part of the sides and roof, 10 years ago. It was insulated and good and warm. We built a lean-too, onto this chicken house with good size old windows, so there was lots of light and a dirt floor.) On days that I wouldn't be home until after dark, in the winter, I gave them lots of greens, water, food and they were quite happy staying in. It's dry so they can dust bathe too. Now, I have a nice chicken house with a door I can walk threw, not have to crawl threw a small door below the canopy.

They are are cute, But the one with the kittens is really cute!!
