thirty seconds of baby call ducks bathing in my sink for @todaysbird
Hello everybody! Hope you are all doing well. If you arent, I hope it gets better and maybe this little mystery baby case will cheer you up a bit.
I give some of my duck eggs to schools in the area to hatch every spring for their classrooms. Last Friday, one of the teachers messaged me.
"Sooo we have a duck with an unusable 3rd leg lol"
My first reaction is of course, what the fuck. Asked for some photos and lo and behold...
Yeah that looks like 3 legs!
I looked through the forums and most of the other cases of 3 legged birds didnt seem to do very well so I said we will see how it does overnight and fingers crossed its just the leg. Also depends on where the leg is attached if it will cause issues, if anything else has malformed or doubled, etc. So I didnt get my hopes up.
However, the next morning, it is doing well!
She sent a short clip of it and it can stand up and walk, though that leg doesnt seem to move at all. She decided to hold onto it over the weekend and will give it back with the rest of the babies when she returns them next week. The schools generally keep the chicks for two weeks for the students to play with and they end up being the friendliest birds ever.
So everyone, meet Cher (Chernobyl)
Her students named it Chernobyl because of the mutations that radiation damage causes. I thought it was hilarious!
I am excited to see how it grows and what happens. We do have an avian vet a few hours away that did Daisy's phallus amputation surgery last year (Daisy did great after surgery but passed away on Apr 1 because my geese decided to martyr him. The geese are rehomed now) so if this baby needs anything we can get it fixed. Hopefully when it is bigger!
Hen feathers 🖤
40 seconds of peaceful babies to detox your dash
The most anticipated moment. 🥚✨
You wait for almost a month, tracking every single day. And then, finally... the magic happens. The birth of a new life.
P.S. The brilliant Tumblr AI insisted that the birth of a chick is "graphic violence" and wouldn't let me post without a warning label. Apparently, hatching is too hardcore for robots. 🤷♂️🤖
I thought I had another week or so before my turkeys started laying again, and I finally ran out of eggs.
...buying chicken eggs seems a lot like a ripoff now 🫠
Animal breeding is so disgusting!!! As an antinatalist who firmly believes bringing a new life into the world will do nothing good for them or anyone else, I do NOT AT ALL support the breeding of any animals, farmed, wild, or domestic. Taking a job as an animal breeder has gotta be one of the most EMBARRASSING jobs ever. Imagine getting paid to bring a new life into the world, letting it experience all of the cons of living in this hellhole, they don't have to exist and suffer the pain of being hurt, scared, sad,_ hungry, or thirsty, but us humans are so selfish that we don't care about that, we just want cute fullbreds instead of taking care of the less fortunate animals in desperate need of help. Thousands of animals get euthanized everyday, but nah us humans don't care well keep breeding animals for our own selfish annoying ass desires its a fuckin kink at this point. We love to say how much we love animals and dont want them to get abused while simultaneously not even taking in strays, adoptees or pound animals and instead consciously choosing That's... Definitely something. Why do people love breeding domestic animals instead of just adopting their own, giving it a much better life than the one it endures in a cage, confined and unable to do much, inducing depression and sadness. I do support euthanasia because it is a painless and peaceful way to die, and I believe humans should have their version as well to prevent a painful and stressful death. I hate people so much, why would you bring a new life into this already suffering planet just so you can have the sake of giving your dog an offspring or getting a fullbred or having a baby animal??? Literally just adopt an animal from the pound or shelter you can actually HELP lives instead of tending for new ones that don't even exist yet like fuck this I'm out man
Nice collection of eggs today 😄
