I love tadpoles!  My parents had a bunch of Canyon Tree Frog tadpoles in their little pond.  They live in the mountains just north of Payson.  My kids LOVE going up there! smile.png

My family consists of 1 DH, who is more tolerant than anyone should be; 5 children, ages 7 and under and one due any day now; 3 totally annoying dogs, and 12 chickens!

high probability of being a mycoplasma carrier

Bueller,,, bueller?

I say you pull out the control towers sewing machine and work up a little hooded apron for Hoppy.

She is having a great time just staring at them.  We caught something else with the tadpole....any ideas what this is??  It's not from a lake or anything....just a big mudhole down the street.  I guess it could be some sort of bug.  Or maybe an actual water critter that washed down from Prescott??  It looks like a tiny stingray, has a bunch of stringy leg things that ruffle to move it through the water, and a split tail.  It acts like it wants to burrow in muck.  I know these pics are bad, will try to get some tomorrow when we clean out the water.

That's a tadpole shrimp. They sprout from eggs in the dirt and grow in puddles after rain.

That's totally awesome!  It's a Triops.  They're a very primitive crustacean that lives in ephemeral  pools in AZ.  They're also known as tadpole shrimp.  I always wondered about raising them for chickens.
