The calico is a beauty. Different color scheme than most. Darker..almost a firefall
The brown is a semi colored semi Narragansett...at least that's what I have been told.

I agree. I think they are both beautiful actually.

Don't you just love a good broody stare?

I decided to bring Sesame inside for a couple days & let Coge have a couple new orp eggs. The two girls were sharing the eggs, so Coge can just keep going. (I put some more eggs in my cheap incubator. The temp swings, but perhaps something will hatch. I have to repair the fan in my good incubator.) My kids will be on spring break when/if they hatch.

I've been so worried about new neighbors. Their house is closer to my run than mine and the rooster crows constantly. Finally saw them out and introduced myself with an apology. They then invited us over to see their 6 baby chicks. Whew! Dont need choke collar just yet lol.

Since I prayed chicken and Turkey pics the other day, I figured it's only fair to post some duck pics too. I will have to get some quail pics also, but likely not until I move them outside in a few weeks. They were just outside the back door enjoying a puddle and leaves on the patio.

Are they all your ducks? Can you ID what kind?

Yes they are mine. There's 4 Rouens. The 3 browns are Rouen females and the gray body with green head is the Rouen drake. The lighter broken female is a Rouen, but comes from a different source - their breeding program apparently led to a lighter color. There's also 2 Pekins, the white ducks. 1 is female and 1 is a drake, who has the signature curled drake feather but otherwise looks much like the female.

Anybody's work talking about closures or working remotely due to coronavirus?

 

[homeschoolin momma]

Sort of. But since I work in a high school, it could be a real possibility. But our school district just implemented e-learning days for when school is out for bad weather, so hopefully if we did shut down, I'd still get paid.

I am mobile mechanic and rarely have contact with people anyway. Just me and things to fix, just the way I like it.
