[Julie Birb]

I got another one this morning, and it wasn't even frozen.

Hatch it.

Beautiful ducks, and I my aunt hasen't come yet, so not interupting stabbings...yet

Why, thank you!!! Oh, goodness.

Oh, SQUEEE! They're the new recipients of the orange sauce award.

EEEEEEK!!!! Why am I hungry all of a sudden?

In loves with your very round bodied chunks of webbed burd puffs. They float.

Chubby wubby wubberz of web and squish!!!

Hatch it.

Totally agree, you can never have too many BIRB, Banty!!! Not to mention we're nearing spring....*wink wink*

[BantyChooks]

Hatch it.

Stop, just STOP. I have zero willpower as is.

I can have too many BIRB actually. 9 ducks are currently eating as much as 25 chickens, and hauling water in winter seems a non-stop and extremely messy chore.

When it doesn't get above 0F for two weeks you rather start doubting your decision to have NINE messy water-spilling web bearers. Don't get me wrong, I love my little things to pieces and wouldn't part with a single one for a million bucks, but more? Err... maybe if I had a giant covered run and an easier way to keep water in front of them. I love the little goofies SO much but at some point reality kicks in, usually around the time I'm doing the 5th water run of the day in below zero weather.

Lol I live in Washington where a cold day is 30 degrees. Good luck over there!

Thanks, I'll need it. I keep telling myself there's only a few more months of hauling water before I can pull the hose out again...

I don't think I could deal with it where you live.
At least here it thaws out on a more regular basis.

As long as there's gaps, it's definitely bearable. It's when the average high for the next week and a half is 2.8*F that you wonder if you're nuts.
