If your kids are no longer using the kiddy pools seen in the background of this photo you can fill them with sand for a dust bathing pool for your girls. They will love it. I mix sand together with Stall Dry which you can purchase at your local feed store. Dry stall contains DE which will...
You're so sweet. I am trying to cut back on my animals, but I may be swayed. I do love Muscovies. Did I ever tell you about our ducks Paco and Millie? Here is a photo of them. Loved those girls.
Orps seem to be the theme this week, so I guess I will post some of my birds also. These were taken yesterday. I have 8 blue hens in with 2 black roosters.
