I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that.

After the 88 degree temps and afternoon showers Spring has Sprang into Summer. The air is alive with bird sounds and the trees are coming alive!

Flowers are appearing

No, this is not a tribble.

Thus starts my day

The weather has been so weird. We really didn't have much of a Spring.

Thanks for looking!

Cedar-Apple Rust a fungus with a fancy name of Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae. Ugly, ain't it?

Oh, those are all so pretty -- thank you! And that fungus, wow. It kinda reminds me of a chia-head gone bad.
