  back from Manhattan. what a dreadful place. You can see the smog in the air from 10 miles out. Smell it at 5 miles out. I would rather smell duck poop tyvm lau.gif

 

      Mama was out with 4 fuzzy butts. She is being SUPER protective. No pics today. She ran from the camera. She is/has always been really hard to get pics of with tiny fuzzy butts. She is a good mama. 

     her daughter is still sitting tight. She growled at me when I checked on her. 

 

    The incubated Sumatra mutts are out in a brooder today enjoying the 90 degree weather. I need to finish their run so they have a perm home.

    I'm always shocked how people take something typed on a forum so personally :) If I say it here I have done it. No Bull poop from me. I'm not arguing, I'm stating what I see in MY flock of 10 years.I'm NOT P.C. If that offends please just block me :)

Thanks!

 

I have an early pip.  What a nice surprise after a crappy day at work!!!
