➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Kiki]

I took the littles outside. We took them to the duck area figuring that the ducks wouldn’t pay them much attention. They were quite curious but didn’t get too close. I wouldn’t allow it just in case. I just sat in the grass with them. They loved climbing all over the giant mountain (me) lol. I didn’t get too many pics this time around but here’s a couple.

This one kept trying to snuggle up in the crook of my arm and nap. It was so sweet!

The golden one that I am assuming is a Buff Orp, at one point she climb all the way up on my shoulder and just perched there. Only she would peck at my moles and that hurt so she didn’t stay up very long lol. I wish I would’ve got a pic of her tho. I had a box of dirt for them to do a dust bath but they just weren’t having it. Maybe another time.
This was earlier today. Elvis likes to get up on his food container and look out over everyone.

The one sleeping on your arm is the best!

I agree. That is too cute!

Its gone now, but I read it when it happened & it really p'd me off too! That totally rude response was worthy of FB not BYC.

Who posted it?
I hate when I miss stuff!

I don't know what that person was building.
What I meant was are these joints put together (screwed) right. Or should the woods be turned the other way.

I have my top and bottom pieces laid out just like this but I am having trouble figuring out how to attach the vertical pieces like this one in this picture.
Do I need bracket things?

That’s called a pocket hole, you need a special pocket hole jig thinger to do those.

Hi!

OHHH I think I remember someone saying this before, thanks!

Is it dark up there?
The sky just got really dark here.

Depends on how you put it together and what hardware options you have. My most recent quail cage build I am using pocket holes, because I was tired of spending money on brackets and I learned how to use a pocket hole jig.

I can try to show different options when I get home, unless someone beats me to posting. It's hard to explain, easier to show with pictures.

In case you'd like to know why leaving the door open when the goats are out is a bad idea...

Well I am either going to have to buy this pocket hole thing or brackets.

Which ever one will be easier.
