yep, production barred rock.
she's doing a great job with her first brood. I'll definitely give her a clutch to hatch anytime she wants one.

I didn't know that one could go broody. That's cool! I'm glad she's a good broody.

she was -very- defensive, not like the mellow nurturing broodiness of the cochins, but she had the best success rate and at 2 weeks old, the chicks are foraging and exploring about 150ft from the coop (with her supervision)

How awesome! Beautiful swans!!


(Hey, please keep in mind rules 1 and 2. )

So I'm not at all trying to be pushy or be coming off as angry, but are swans a domestic? I mean surely if peafowl can be called domestic a swan can aswell right? I'm just rather curious on this topic of domestic or not domestic?

Also as you can see in the photo the dad can't be seen that's because he is actually making a fun time of harassing the mallards that were trying to eat the algea at the edge of the pond.

Not an entry

Mom and her very crazy babies they look to be about a month or so, or maybe older? I don't know what species she is but she is beautiful.

Swans can be domestic and people do own them, but there's also wild ones, like it appears in your entries. In the quote of the rules, I put an important word to be taken note of in bold letters. The broody that is in your pictures must belong to you. Please make sure all your entries is of your poultry. Sorry for the confusion on what the rules mean on domestic. I hope that this makes sense.

1. An entry is *one* photo of  your domestic broody with at least one baby.
2. All domestic poultry allowed (chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, peafowl, guinea fowl, quail, pheasants, emu, etc.).
