One of our ducks had an injured foot that took two months to heal.
In the past few years 3D printing technolgy has been used to give a prosthectic leg to a rooster and a duck.
The surgery costs 2500 dollars, which is a little out of our league. Maybe the cost will go down when home 3D printers get better and cheaper.

We ordered 25 unsexed chicks from Cackle Hatchery this year.
Australorps, Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire Red, Buff Orpington, and Dominque were the breeds we selected.
Why didn’t we hatch them ourselves? Because we only have two good breeding hens and it’s always fun to experiment with a new breed.
We’ll probably use Cackle Hatchery again the next time we don’t want to incubate due to how strong and hardy these chicks are.
