They are semi-tame. So long as you are feeding them and not grabbing them they don’t really care what you do. Somehow he managed to get it off. It was all twisted around him on Friday. As soon as I got out of the car I thought he was fine but after walking the lake twice to be sure I pulled out a photo and checked the markings on his bill to be sure.
She's more like the size of a Call (except for the obvious differences). I believe Diva is closer to the size that Aztec's are supped to be (between the size of a Call & a Mallard). Blue Belle is MUCH more talkative like a Call while Diva is fairly quiet.
Pics needed!
They are just going to be on the end of the bantam pens, in their own dedicated pen. I think the Bantam Cochins are tired of sharing a pen with the little mess makers. But I'll get some pictures before it starts raining.
That’s probably Mrs White. She is Quasi’s mom, so she probably won’t go broody again until spring. She was the last set to hatch before these latest ones started sitting.
I have some of that garden/deer type of thin, extremely easily tangled netting that I had bundled up and stuffed in a stacked dog crate (in hopes of keeping the messy netting from causing any problems) that was sitting outside behind my shop (the crates take up too much room in my shop plus I don't like to cage pups unless it's absolutely necessary). Something started smelling rotten and ugh the stinch was so horrible. I finally found that a snake crawled into the top crate 5ft off the ground, where I stuffed this netting and ended up getting tangled up in it and dying. I do not like snakes at all, but I don't want anything to suffer. Even dead, we had to cut the netting because it was wrapped and tangled so tight
Poor snake.
I’m ok with snakes in the woods, live and let live, but when they get this close, they gotta die. They steal eggs, they terrorize the chickens, and they have killed a few of my pigeon squabs. So I quickly put that one out of its misery of being stuck. I’ve never heard that happening before, so it’s interesting that it happened to you too. Maybe that stuff would be good to wad up around the outer edge of the coops.
