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

You betcha! I've got over 3 miles of atv trails that haven't been looked after for 4 years now.

Awesome. I'm sure they'll do you a solid.

Poor Mr. Puckers had an unpleasant trip to the vet on Wednesday.

What happened to him?

 

[Conan]

No

How much longer must you wait?

Oh wow. That's really cool.

It was cheap too. In theory, we could move it without damaging anything, but hopefully we won't have to.

What happened to him?

I was rubbing on him last Saturday & he yelped. It took a while to figure out where he was hurting... I found a spot behind his ear that had a clear sticky stinky slime, but no broken skin. The next day I found the same behind his other ear. The vet had to sedate him to take a look.... turns out there was puss all over the back of his neck and shoulder blades. The only thing we can think is that his collar prevented his fur from drying after being out in the rain.
How's Cricket?

How much longer must you wait?

Good question.
I keep saying a week and a half... but then "something comes up" and the contractor can't come... this time it's yet another family emergency (3rd one since January).

Oh, no! Poor guy. That crazy fur of his can probably retain moisture like crazy too, eh?

Cricket is great! He's an idiot. Still not all that interested in people, but he loves us, so I don't really care. He learned really quickly that the birds were not there for his entertainment. He now ignores them. It's wonderful.

Honestly, though, I've been really excited about the bird additions this year. The Cream Brabanters are wicked awesome, and I added a pair of American Buff goslings. I baby them, and they love me. They are total doofs.
