Cool!
@CHlCKEN , I mentioned you on a post about a beautiful SS rooster in need of a home.... Not sure if you saw it.

Where? Like what state?

Cool! Are you guys far away from each other?

Wow that looks SO cool. I'd kill for a pond like that. (Not really )
That's huge though. It will be awesome when it's done. I can just picture some ducks splashing around in it now. ❤

About 3 hours away.

me too! It is huge. We dug some rocks out from the side of a hill and he plans to put them around the ponds edge to make it looks nice. There was recently a house built right above the hill too so there are a couple of rocks from there that we got.

I’m not sure if my parents will allow me a rooster and I’m not very comfortable bringing adult birds into my flock. I wish I could take him though!

Wow! Your BLRW is a beauty! Where did you get her? I have always wanted one of those but that one is real eye candy! Was she from a breeder? I WANT HER!

Haha! Thank you! She's from Meyer hatchery actually. She has some not great quality lacing, (light shafting) but she's pretty good. I love her, she's awesome. Such a sweet bird. And she had pretty babies with my little brahma bantam guy.
This is Ash.

Her leg feathers were molting in still

I have a sudden and extremely irrational urge to raise pigeons. I’m bird crazy.

that reminds me! SO was talking about raising white pigeons and then you can release them at people's weddings as doves for lots of money

Awesome! Rocks around the edge will look super cool.
This is my dream aviary.

It's The Phantom's.

Haha! It's ok. I figured you might know someone who would want him if you didn't want him yourself.

does quarantining the newbies help? not arguing your logic, just trying to figure it out for me

It definitely does. I quarantine any new birds for 21 days, just to be safe.

Wow! From Meyer! She doesn't look hatchery quality! Wow, that brahma is gorgeous too!
