Things are just off season for birds sales. Happens every year. I'm not scared.

2 or 3 months and I'll be rolling again.. Until then the piggies pay the bills..

Guess what we are having for supper?

He's more of a "medium" .... and that pic was taken at 1 year old. He's a little more filled out now. Moose is A LOT taller & also heavier. (about 13 lbs) We have a lot of hawks. My hope is that they'll think twice before swooping with these large birds about.

Our biggest breed was some 2011 import Bielefelders. This guy was almost 5 months in this pic.

Duckling just stole my cheesecake. Last week she didn’t want any because I offered it. Now I’m almost out, and she’s taking mine, and asking for more. Brat.
