id say the birds themselves are probably really high priced ...
that egg is 65 for the first bid not counting 9 for shipping for a total of 74 minimum for a non hatching egg ... emu non hatching eggs go for anywhere from 8-35 ..some possibly higher but unless it is already blown out and carved very beautifully they rarely go for that price .... just giving you a general idea of how much more these birds themselves must be ........ unfortunately cause those eggs are awesome .. that one is a gem in color and shine .... thats all i found for now and my movie is off so im heading to bed as well .. night all
She seams fine, she doesn't even seem to mind that her friend is gone at all and I would like to keep her. In fact she seems much more friendly now, the other duck was very scared of me but now Gemima seems friendlier without the other duck.
Yeah, I think i will.
It seems a bit harsh, just loosing my duck but I have found someone with some KC's, just waiting for a reply from her. I just don't want my duck to be alone, even though she is with 20 chickens, they avoid her and well.....chickens can't swim.LOL.
Silver, you must have came into the thread just as I was posting my final good night!!
I was so tired, my eyes were all messed up from working in the dirt, dirt in my contacts..
..not fun. I actually had to flush out my eyes with contact solution
I have a pic of the progress to post. The only thing that is not in the pic is the wire on the top back 2/3. We did that last night after I got the pic......after dark.......I have decided to go with a thatched roof. I have no idea what the hail I am doing, but that is what the internet is for, RIGHT!?!
So, what do y'all think so far? I don't have a house built for them yet, but they seem to be doing well so far. They like to sleep on the patch of grass,
and eat it too.....
. Stupid ducks, you'd think they would leave one area nice, poop on the dirt floor, but NNNOOOOOOO, they want to poop in the grass and LAY in it.......
I robbed that young sabal palm to the left in the top pic for thatching materials.......the fronds were in the way of progress, and they will come back soon. I have a couple large ones that really could use a trim, but the leaves that need to come off are all old and brown....
I think I want to put them on there green, more pliable to work with, and I think it will settle and dry nicely if it all settles together, So, I am sending DH down the road for palm fronds whenever he gets back from feeding the LF...
......I swear he takes 2 hours to feed 30 frikin chickens......
What is the deal with that, is it just a stupid guy thing.....
is he communing with the chickens, or what!?!
OMG, come on
there is work to do, and lots of it!!!!!!!!
Takes me about 1/2 an hour, including travel time for 5 miles one way....
gathering eggs......
going through locked gates, even!!
OK, so now i am going to look up how to thatch that thing. Hopefully I will get that part done today...I am only going to thatch about 2/3 of it so they have shade. The rest I am going to leave open, so they can get sun and rain too....they seem to like the rain....
Am I missing something? Where's the door to get in? And how you going to change the water in there. Ducks are very messy. Within days it will be mud as He77. LOL.
