    "Easter" eggs, aka boys who listen even when they pretend not to...

    My sons are playing with their plastic eggs again. I keep hearing snippets of conversation like "the mama wants to sit on these and raise babies!" and "We need to incubator them! We don't know what's inside!" The best: "Keep the lid closed!" and "We need another incubator!" My name is Mary...

    BUSTED!!! Darn the luck

    The correct response: "Don't talk to your mother like that young lady. They're already in the car with me." Then pick out what you want. But you get points for being honest.

    my ducks hate me!help me get them to like me!

    we got our first geese Thursday

    I'm brooding them with three ducks and five chicks in the hopes of having an integrated flock. I want the geese as guardians to raise a ruckus if there's something wrong. I hope they stay mellow. I don't know if I have a pair or not; I got two assorted ones. A pair would be nice, but these...

    we got our first geese Thursday

    I have an American Lavender and something that looks the same, only has a gray bill and mostly grey with some yellow on its legs. We've had chickens for two years and ducks for one; this is our first foray into Geese. I must say they're more dignified than the ducks. Much like a junior in...

Then someone responded to my craigslist ad for rehoming Easter animals. I'm going from three to more than twenty ducks in just four...
