Oh, that famous lamp! Haha, just a desk-top lamp, but it´s so useful. It actually belongs to my son, but I seem to use it more than he does!Is that the infamous "lamp" =) it always scares me to see them right after they come out of the shell. i know it is inexperience. they always just look so fragile. that one your holding has the prettiest little orange beak! will it keep that black spot that is in the center? Your yard/field is beautiful! Even with the obvious lack of rain it looks so tropical!
It would be a super nice trip!! I have always wanted to go to Brazil! We should all go and meet at Livin's house for the weekend!
The little mark on the bill will go..it did on his mum´s and autie´s. This land amazes me. Months without much rain...actually, a year and a half has gone by and it´s hardly rained. The soil here is marvelous, as it holds onto whatever dampness there is.
Are you sure you´d ALL fit in the shebang? You´d fit right in here in Brazil!Okay livin we're planning our trip and that truck jtn has will hold us all. So now we have no excuse.

My two smaller normandy-type geese make a terrible shrieking noise, especially when they´re mating..you´d think something was in pain! So maybe it´s just to do with her small size.She sounds like someone is stepping on her. It is an awful honk. I hope she grows out of that sound soon.
@livininbrazil Do you get the capybaras? I would LOVE to have a capybara as a pet!
That is neat looking!
I would fit right into that ....seeing that I have a rooster in my living room =)
Yes, capybaras are around here. They are admired from a distance, as they carry ticks that can pass diseases to people, and can be aggressive too, if you´re not careful. Some lakes have a number of them resident there, and those get quite used to people. Around here they´re quite wild. There are also little agouti-type animals that are really just guinea-pigs that live wild, all brown in colour. We get them in the chácara near the geese as they like damp areas.
I have a whole load of Brahmas, but it´s so hot and generally dry here, they don´t much trouble with the feathered feet. Chickens aren´t as bad as geese, but they do like their own sort...buut he´d be fine if he had them next-door to him in the tractor.I have been keeping Bruce Lee (Brucie the rooster) separated. when the ducks are out in the yard foraging, I put him in the fenced area attached to the duck run with the three BB bantam old english hens in a crate. They like to dig in the sand so the crate allows them to be near Bruce but not get eaten or pecked (they are so small). between 6-10 am Bruce is my living room in a crate. I havent decided what to do with him. I really enjoy having him crow (inside my house) and holding him because he is like a stuffed animal. I havent researched the breed enough to know if he can live as a solitary animal.....solitary being no hens to mate with. If I cant find any hens that he wont beat up or if I discover that his breed isnt happy being alone (like our ducks and geese) then I will probably re-home him since I dont think it is fair to keep an unhappy animal. The OEB hens will have a tractor built before the cold months (Jan-April). If I decide to keep Bruce, he will have his own separated section of the tractor.
The the only thing I dont like about Bruce is that his booted feet seem to always have poo stuck in the feathers.... I clipped his feathers back as short as I can and I wash him, but it seems he immediately walks through his poo.
I am no sure how to fix that.
They´re horrors, aren´t they?I like bantams but let me tell you those bantam roos have an over population of hormones seems more so than LF breeds maybe it's just because they are so small and move so lightening fast. lol
