After the tire swing, Duckling went arond the house to the old people swing. She decided to get up, and go feed the flock. Today things are clcking for her.
She opened the barrel and eventually tipped it over trying to get the feed.

I finally added another bag to make it easier.
She is getting control of the hose too. Tomorrow I will see if she can fill the water bowls without too much incident. Of course, she has to be expected to stick her hand in the spray while filling things!

Ahhhh....Good for her....the joy of being a child

Elbridge Gerry?

Nope, it was George Washington! I read the Dec yesterday and was really surprised that his name wasn't there!

@ChickenCanoe or anybody

Can you tell me if the SOP includes the Altsterier? I've been looking for a standard and having a difficult time locating one. Just didn't want to buy the book if it didn't have it listed

Not for LF
I was told that the APA is primarily concerned with breeds that were here prior to 1900.

I know they come in White and Partridge but there may be other colors.
They are a handsome bird that looks to have a lot of meat on them.
Perhaps if you go to an Austrian site you can find a standard.

This is the closest I've found to a standard written in English.

3 I think. He's vying to replace Methuselah.

HAPPY 3,274 BELATED BIRTHDAYS CHAOS!

Btw, Happy 4th of July a day late!
Oh, and a trivia question for you all that I would've asked yesterday if I was here ...... (Don't cheat and look it up!

)
Which one of these men did not sign the Declaration of Independence?
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
Elbridge Gerry
Charles Carroll

I'm guessing Elbridge Gerry since I never heard of him.

I'm sorry..no I'm not.. But...some of you really should just get on the telephone and chat! Does anyone know what at telephone is? Or does everyone here text?

Or....get on fun BYC and type away. I guess that's the best yet.

Cooling down around here! I can't believe we will be getting down into the 80's tomorrow. I'm ok with that!

No....eggs....in....a....bator!!!! What?!?

@Chaos18 I stopped while passing at my vet to get medication. She raises and judges goats. She says it looks like Nubian/Toggenburg.

does that mean it will probably get a wicked cute beard???

Awe!
Don't you dare!

I should.
She is an odd little Duckling!

3,274. But, some of them were un-birthdays to make him younger again.

but why not??

Nothing in the Americas can compare to the Old World of Europe, Asia and Africa.
The oldest thing in North America is a pyramid in Mexico that's from 800 BC. However, there's a plaza in Peru that's from 3500 BC. That's older than the pyramids of Egypt.
The oldest thing in the US is a pueblo in New Mexico from 750 AD.
If you look at that geography, what it tells me is that humans didn't first cross the Bearing Strait from Asia, but rather they crossed the Pacific from Polynesia and spread north. Aleuts and more southerly Indians may have come from Asia but I think that incursion was predated by peoples crossing the pacific into south America.

As for modern European style buildings, the oldest in the US are from the 1500s. Probably churches in Puerto Rico.
Some of the oldest buildings west of the Mississippi are in Santa Fe, New Mexico, California and St. Genevieve, MO.

Oldest buildings in New Orleans date to the 1790s. In St. Louis there are some from around 1810. Some in St. Gen' date to the 1780s.
My house was built in 1903 but our old log cabin up the road that was my grandfather's farm dates to the 1830s.
I believe it is the oldest building in north St. Louis county that still stands.


Not much really old stuff west of the Appalachians.
The site just south of the confluence of the Missouri and Missouri rivers selected as a trading post was established in 1764.

the house we looked at was built in 1838, but there are some in town that are older than the town itself
do you have any pictures of the log cabin?

Welcome to BYC!

Peachicks can be a little harder to raise than chicken chicks because often they need to be taught to eat and drink. Lots of knowledgeable people in this thread, but you should probably also post in the peafowl forum:

If you want, you can call me and I'll answer any question one the phone.
