Can y'all tell me what kind of duck this is? Was sold to me as an Indian Runner as a duckling, that's obviously not what it is

You have a crested duck. It's not a runner.

Here is my crested duck. His name is Afro Man.

I haven't heard from Celie

sent and message and left a voicemail. I hope she's just taking a time out at the moment from the stress of her ordeal.

Her grandbunnies have already been sold before they're weaned! for breeders instead of meat cuz they're so nice people want more lol while I know she sells them for meat, as do I, its nice when some we play with are spared the stew! Hehehe

Great job on the bunnies!!
I've been thinking about Celie a lot too. Hopefully she's just gotten caught up in the craziness this time of year brings.

Same here. I have a local person that I buy mine from and co-workers will bring me a jar every now and then because they know I have terrible allergies.

She's baaaccccckkkkk!!! Hey...we missed you!

We finally finished the chicken shelter today. Amanda helped with painting the trim. Guess what color the trim is.

I put lattice on the side that gets hard sun in the summer.

At the apex of the roof is a painted metal wreath that says "Welcome" and has a turkey on it that wiggles.

Looks great! Good job!

[COLOR=000000]Cute silkiness!!! Love the coloring & frizzly feathers!
Sad to be back at work – it was such a nice holiday break! Gee, it’s so cold & dreary outside here – I think it’s colder now than it was this morning….both of the pea boys were fanning yesterday, silly things – it’s too soon for that![/COLOR]

Terri, my pea boys have been fanning as well. I'm NOT looking forward to pea season AT ALL!!!!!!!

Hello fellow Louisiana chicken people,

I just moved to Gonzales La. near Baton rouge, and I am interested in starting up a new flock here. I had an assortment of 4 egg laying chickens in a very urban area in Denver for the last two years and the wife and I enjoyed them very much.

Now Im back home in Louisiana, and I have a lot more land to work with now, I would like to start another flock. This time I would like to get 5 egg layers, I do not really care what breed they are as long as they are suited for the heat and are good layers. I would also like to get around 15 meat chickens.

Anyone know of a local place that I can buy from, and by "local" I mean within a few hours drive from Baton Rouge, or do I need to go ahead and mail order them?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Jeremy

. I totally agree. Antibiotics kills your immune system, and breads supper bad bacteria.
My doctor, told me about not washing my eggs and about new findings on the benefits of parasites to some people with chronic illness. Because I told him my nephew wants me to be tested for parasites. He is convinced I have parasites. My doctor is convinced i do not, and if I did, it just may not hurt me.

.

Everyone gets a parasite at some point in their lives, it is just a part of life and we are such great hosts. Not every parasite is bad for you and this is why most doctors will not tell you unless there is a problem. It's like bacteria, you want some of it to stay because your body needs it. If your doctor was to tell you how much good bacteria was in your body you would cringe.

Does anyone know why kuntrygirl has been MIA? Pam

Hey Pam! I'm here. I have been in and out with the Holidays and trying to get things ready for this flock of birds that will arrive on tomorrow. Thanks for asking.
