LIVESTOCK JOURNAL: Chicks Eat Oats and Ducks Eat Oats
Went to the local feed mill today. Michael assured me that it looks exactly the same as it did 40 years ago. Bought 50 lbs of oats for $9.50. Came home and spread them around my chicken-viewing chair. The friendly chicken hopped right up, knowing I’d have a treat waiting on my knee. The skitterish chicken was so distracted by this unexpected delicacy that I managed to pick her up and get a close-up.
No idea yet what breed of chicken this is, although I am pretty sure we have Wyandottes and Light Brahmas. They all approved of the oats:
We have 26 chickens and 15 ducks. Although the ducks are 1 week younger than the chickens, they are significantly larger:
So have a nice day and duck!
