Battle fires, I forgot that mallards are no longer legal to sell. I bought "Rouens" a few years ago from TSC and ended up with small Mallards.
I would say that those are definitely Rouens. At least you didn't unknowingly get something that would fly away.

That is a VERY good point! I'll have to do some more looking for ducklings now. I'm trying to get a laying flock going and Rouens didn't seem like the best breed for that.

Goats in sweats... funny! Hope the surgery goes well for the chicken..

I got a new bunny. I may have a few more in the next few weeks. The lady "thinks" she's bred. I really didn't want babies, and she couldn't understand why, but felt so bad for the bunnies I had to take her. Filthy cages. Yes, it's winter, but you still have to keep the animals cages clean and dry. She doesn't give them water because it will just freeze. She feeds them lots of greens and apples. Cages piled 3-4 high. At least they were somewhat protected. She had one of those storage thingy with the frame and tarped. So, she kept no records so don't know when or if she will have a litter. Cute lil thing. Have her outside in fencing letting my other bunny and her get to know each other. I know the grand kids will love it if she had babies.

What a beautiful day!! It's sunny and 44*!! Took the dogs for a walk. We all had fun. Them running around and I got to walk on the edges of the ice to break it up and hear that cool crunchy noise!

What can I say.

I hate it when they start hatching while I'm at work! Luckily my hubby can't help himself and checks ever hour or so and sends me text updates sometimes it's really nice to live at the workplace!

Good luck with the chicks!

I have 2 khaki campbell's, they are excellent egg layers. The TSC in Imlay City had a few last week. I also have 2 muscovy, not so good at egg laying.

Welcome!

Fuzzy, I purchased these at 1muttsfan's recommendation last year. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WZ4KO0/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The most I have caught in one trap at a time was 10. Hope it goes well with your girl.

Updates, No chicks, TSC's shipment didn't come in. My guinea is back outside. She was much improved this morning but I decided to soak her feet. I wrapped her in a shirt and soaked her feet and inspected her only to realize her nostrils were totally crusted over with dried on food. I soaked, scrubbed and used tweezers to removed plugs that had dried into her little nostril feathers. She was fighting me by the time I was done so out she went. I didn't see how she had been getting around so well with the frostbite and suddenly go downhill, but not being able to breath makes sense.

Out to enjoy the nice weather.
