I love Fayoumi's are you thinking of getting some?

Thanks so much for the link NFC. Hubs ordered 4 pullets for me for our anniversary, they’ll be here in April. I had no idea and was surprised he’d been paying attention when I talked about them. Talk about surprises!

This answers my question! That's awesome, what a thoughtful guy! Happy anniversary!

That's a wonderful anniversary present!

Our anniversary is tomorrow, number 8. You probably have me beat on that.

Happy anniversary Debby!

Todays snack for the ducks was some wet feed with a few peas, some cut up baby lettuces and some nutritional yeast for a boost of b vitamins. When I left they were in the pool having fun. I think I heard Fig quack today

They sound like busy little ducks...quacking is good!
