the rabbits are my kids pets, i don't think i would have the heart to eat a rabbit, doing in the drake was hard enough

 

and the meaties are pretty! i will never get over how fast they grow these guys are only 3 weeks old and the red girls on the roost with it are 8-9 weeks

No offense to any redheads or stepchildren....I am no biggot.

The new partridge roo, and his hen.  She is bearded, but you can still see her eyes.

 

 

The hen I already had....can't see her eyes!

 

 

Here are the little babies...3 white Calls, the one in the very front is the youngest.  2 white Silkies, a partridge Silkie, and a chocolate/white scovie duckling.

Marty, I could not get the four together today, so I took pics of each duo.  Even then it is hard to get both Erin Toulouse and Molasses to pose at the same time.  Barley and his buddy, on the other hand, love to pose.

I've never actually owned one but isn't a 10 gallon WAY to small for a Ball Python?

My kid doesn't scream and shout and waaaaaa and throw tantrums.  She just does what she wants.  I have a hard time with her.  And this town I live in is snooty so I get looks all the time. I've started going to walmart in the neighboring rural town so I can get away from these peeps.  They look at me like "Oh my gosh.. look at all those kids she has!"  

 

Um... is 3 really THAT many??  Cuz my husband's one of ten kids, and not that long ago if you didn't have at least 6 kids people felt sorry for you!  

 

This world.. (sigh). 

 

Oh and my kid I'm referring too.. she isn't a brat.. she just doesn't listen.  I have to say her name 4 times before she even looks at me.

I'm his only child (but not my moms - he was her second of 3 husbands), so that pretty well leaves me alone to try to figure out what to do.    I'll probobly not be on lots for a few days.

Ok CG....opened egg up, blood vessels greatly reduced, just the tip of bill through the membrane so I went ahead and cleared bill/nares and the eye so membrane doesn't stick to it.  Baby is back in the hatcher.  It's not saying anything, but it is looking at me and respirations seem normal.

Found out they  were 2 pure Sebbies & 1 Chinese/Pilgrim cross.....

 

What is an addict to do???

Celtic, I'm very happy you love your buffs!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my afternoon's handiwork.  The pen on the right is for my goslings at night.

I took my dog and daughter to a local event this morning, "walk for the animals" to support our local humane society.  We had a great time.  I couldn't resist, had to share

Thanks Iain.  I was totally glad it was like that for him.  Although he wasn't in great health, it was a surprise to me, and everyone.  I was also touched to be the one to be there, and so grateful it was me, and not anyone else.  I know it sounds strange, but I felt glad to be there for him then.

I am officially jinxed with cayugas!!  I noticed my bator temp had dropped this afternoon by 4 degrees since we had a cold front come through (not a big deal), but I turned the dial up and then forgot to recheck.  Went back just now and it was 105!  Of course, I killed 2 of my 3 eggs and am surprised that the 3rd is still alive.  Not holding out much hope to hatch out 1 egg especially after that kind of spike.  I may wind up having Carole ship my buff pair next week (when my greys hatch) and then call it quits for a while so I can enjoy raising all the many babies I now have.  Thank goodness I at least have a beautiful sweet cayuga trio for my efforts.
