@Outpost JWB If that splitter has the Honda gc190 motor like my 28 ton it will not start when it is cold. Warm starts easy, below 30, blah! We got a load of log length this winter when it was zero. Had to put a tarp over it and run a hair dryer on the block for a hour before it started.
Problem is it has no idle control, starts out full throtle. I leave it partly choked for a bit to lower rpm's.
Other than that it does run excellent and splits anything. I cut 24" and if a block gets over 26 doesn't fit it will split it standing up through the side. I've split knarly knotty, grain going loop de loo, apple, struggled a bit but it did it and I didn't think I could burn the stuff. Big savings that old apple tree and roots burned like coal.

@BriardChickens , I like that chocolate Ancona. Yep I agree it needs more of a broken pattern to it but these build appears correct with a nice chest and deep body from the back to the abdomen. Its head appears well rounded and not like a runner. I believe you have a good start right there.

I think the coloured ones have the better body type, somehow I just need to improve on colour. They are quite young, so do expect them to fill out a bit more too. They hatched in May, so ~3 months old now.

I'd like to see a picture from behind to see how wide the duck is

Will try and get you some better pictures

you can breed better markings from what you have there. Just takes lots of hatching and heavy culling. I hatch a hundred and may keep 10. That's why I've hatched over 300 this year alone!

@RavynFallen, the problem is the customers know I'm in the back now and they come find me. :/ I still do have to work on the floor some too.

Oh, and my tired sleepy self just had my day get worse.

Oh for cripes sake! :/

Do you have a spare at least?
Btw, better the tire than what we watched yesterday... older gentleman backed his car right into a woman's SUV... totally oblivious and drove off without even noticing...

Hopefully they can patch it up... should cost you under $50.... OKTire is ~30 here I think

that's a lot of eggs I need to hide.

But I should be able to fit 40 into the new incubator at a time.. wait hold on....I think I only have 2 ancona girls. maybe 3. I keep forgetting who's a loud quacker...

nope, sidewall has a hole the size of a quarter in it. $120 tire needed...
