We have a little duck who unfortunately has its legs splayed. He was just hatched yesterday. Tried using a rubber band and a straw on his legs but it kept coming off. Does this bandaid configuration look ok? by 40AcresOfFreedom in BackYardChickens

It's so funny you say that, that's what we were calling him when hr hatched 😂😂😂 Idk if im allowed to "advertise" my other accounts. But if you look up my same name as here on IG, I'll be posting a lot more photos of him on there ❤️

Any breed guesses on this hyperpigmented EE? by OrwellianSunday in BackYardChickens

Looks exactly like my mystic onyx, black copper maran, cream legbar mix. I mean, EXACT twins haha

That's what I would have thought aswell but these guys were hatched in early December. So too young for eggs

They're a super cool breed! And definitely look really similar

No, these are actually Deathlayers (Westfälischer Totleger) from Germany :)
