Beautiful!!!I know lol this is the dad and mom is the white silke in the back
That is SOOOO adorable!!!Have a bunch already and more due the 16th, lol... so far this is my fave pic...
Sorry about your quitters, but how adorable is this pup!!!! I don't understand how people can do that to animals. Good for you taking one in!!!Sorry, I have been gone so long. With Christmas (the day, plays, etc), the kids starting rec league soccer, and family visits I have been extremely busy; but I am back. The HAL chicken eggs were locked down a day late (I forgot to warm up the hatcher soon enough, oops). I hope the extra day rotating won't be to hard on them. Out of the 20 chicken eggs set, 7 were tossed as clearly being quitters. The BCM eggs don't look too good, but I can't be 100% certain they are quitters, so they locked down too. Of the 15 quail eggs only one was tossed for being clear. However, the quail won't lock down until Friday (due to hatch Jan 3).
One of my hens went seriously broody and I considered allowing her to finish the hatch. However, she is one of three hens going to a new home in January along with several older chicks. So, I gave her three fertile eggs (that can go with her) when they hatch.
We do have a new addition to the family. A couple weeks before Christmas someone abandoned a litter of 2 month old puppies in town. We ended up taking one while others took the remaining pups. The pup we took was in pretty bad shape: malnourished, sick, and flea infested. Thankfully she didn't have a major worm issue, but we dewormed her anyway. She is doing much better now, healthy, happy, and up-to-date on vaccines. It frustrates me to no end when people are so careless with their animals.
Her name is Angel! She is very sweet, not mouthy at all, loves to play fetch and follows us everywhere.
Me too... then I gotta clean up after them...
My main flock came from minihorse and clousert... lovely little Calls... just need to add some from yours...
Beautiful pup. Glad you got her!Sorry, I have been gone so long.

I'm w-a-y back at page 350 trying to catch up. SO sorry Bama of what you're going through.
And everyone else there too!
May I ask what why people build a pond? Is it a dry area normally? Up here some people trench and drain the low spots on worked land. We don't do it (our land's full of sloughs, just not going to happen) but others do. Pond building is non existent here so I'm not familiar with this.
We were dry in the 80's but we've been really wet these last years. We got totally flooded in 2014, as in 3+ feet water through the farmyard with grain in the bins, it took out all the fences through 5 quarters of pastureland and all that fun stuff...so I sure feel for you guys. It's an awful thing.
