Ducks and Turkeys and Chicks Oh MY!

 

Nathaniel and I had a lovely 3-day getaway to the Red River Gorge, and this is a preview of that, but I am going to save more of those pictures for future posts.  On the way home Thursday, we stopped at Rural King and bought 4 ducklings and 2 turkey poults.
This time, the poultry purchase was all Nathaniel's fault, but I gotta say, those ducklings are the cutest things.  (That is a turkey poult on the left of the ducklings.)

We separated them from the chicks in the brooder for just two nights, because there isn't enough room for 23 meat chicks, 8 regular chicks, 2 poults, and 4 ducklings.  So now the meat birds are enjoying a spacious covered area outdoors:


And the rest are enjoying much more room to move in the brooder:
