A Little Update: Growing chickens and new ducklings [Aiden's feathered friends] 🐥

This brings a smile to my face as they’re growing. ‎ ‎ ‎At the moment we have 3 young Dekalb Brown Chickens. I am so pleased to see how they’re growing. Knowing that they’ve got past some of the toughest time of their life being little chicks. Little baby chicks require extra care as they can so easily get hurt. My hubby actually once experimented at checking if the eggs from our Dekalb Brown hens were fertile and they were, thank goodness! ‎ ‎ ‎Which led to these 3 adorable young chickens here. (The other one is down below.) ‎ ‎Aiden is really enjoying them! He loves feeding them and playing. He always joins his daddy whilst feeding them. ‎ ‎ ‎We also have ducks now! We started with 10 but we only have 4 left. 🥹 My hubby is unsure as to what happened to the others. ‎ ‎ ‎One day they became weak and unfortunately didn’t make it the next day. We also lost one of our hens. ‎ ‎ ‎Whilst it is a shame to lose an animal it does happen when trying to look after them as best you can. Although its a part of looking after animals. ‎ ‎So lots of good times but also some surprising setbacks. Anyway, that's just a quick update on our backyard. ‎ ‎Despite the setbacks we’re so pleased with how they’re growing. Hopefully our chickens and ducks will keep growing healthy, produce their own young and give us even more eggs soon. ‎ ‎Another little blessing. How about you, Hivers? ‎ ‎Do you also keep chickens or ducks in your backyard?

Wow, relate much aketch! Nag-aalaga rin kasi ako ng feathered friends pero hindi ko talaga sila pagmamay-ari. Hahaha! It is wonderful to see how your young chickens are growing healthy and strong. Raising chicks is not easy, so all your hard work and care are truly paying off. Aiden looks like he is having so much fun helping his daddy feed and take care of them. Nakakatuwa talaga na makita ang mga alagang hayop na lumalaki at malusog araw-araw. It's sad to hear that you lost some ducks and a hen, but that is sometimes part of raising animals. Mabuti na lang at may mga natitira pa kayong manok at bibe na patuloy na lumalakas. I hope your flock continues to grow, produces many eggs, and brings more blessings and happiness to your family. 🙏💙

I just recently started rearing some broiler chicken..they are about 9 days old now and they are doing fine.

Keeping chicken is quite an interesting activity. They keep you engaged and occupied.

That's true! Raising and looking animals comes with both beautiful moments and also unexpected challenges. Losing one is never easy especially when you've done your best to care for them. But it is also nice to see that despite the challenges, you are still making progress and enjoying the experience of raising them. I hope your chickens and ducks continue to grow and hopefully, more little chicks, ducklings, and fresh eggs will come soon. Keep up the good work po ❤️
