    The peafowl (and new chicks) are doing fine. They handle the heat very well. The chicks need to be moved down to the greenhouse to give them more room. peachicks are rather active, and are AMAZING jumpers, so they need some head room. Of the two new ducklings, one is a typical blue, with pale...

    That's a nice pool. Is that meant for water lilies? Another topic, walked own to the garden to check on the ducks this morning before going to work and there's two ducklings following Blondie around. I had allowed her to sit her eggs. I post a pic or two once my email stops misbehaving.

    Several of my gals have gone broody, they have nests stuck all over in every nook and cranny now. One odd thing is that they seem to be doing communal nesting. I'll clean out a nest and next morning there's 3 eggs in it. Do ducks tend to share nests?

    Poultry swap was fun. Picked up 3 hens for my big Welsummer roo Titan. And finally found some Silkies I'd wanted to get. Here's the black roo, buff and dark partridge hens and here's the light partridge hen

The father is a Spalding (50% Indian Blue 50% Java Green) and carries the White gene, the mother is a Pied Indian Blue. So the first chick hatched (on the right) appears to be a Dark Pied...

    Mine started laying at around 6 months. They lay fewer in December, stop more or less completely for Jan and most of Feb, they by March are laying fairly well again. As others have said, you just need to be patient. Finally picked up a few chickens. My wife has fallen in love with Polish...

    Have you ever had a nice rooster?

    I've had Cochin and Cochin mixed roosters who were quite pleasant. One in particular, "Charlie" was completely tame.
