Ordered a Goose Diaper for Sebastian-AKA Mr. McFluffyPants, and 2 duck diapers for my special needs Rouen and her mate. For Sebastian, I ordered this pattern

Sebastian's Diaper Pattern(Of course it will be a goose wearing it rather then a runner.)

And then I bought these two fabric patterns,

Ming-Ming(Oreo's Mate) he's my youngest sons duck who LOVES storms, so I got him a lighting pattern and Oreo just a solid chocolate brown color. But Sebastian will most likely be a FT indoor goose, I'm mean he'll go outside and all but he'll be indoors with us since he doesn't have a partner to bond with, and I don't really want to see him try and mate with my female ducks. If anything he'll hang out with the 2 ducks that have diapers as well. I know, I'm a little weird but hey WHY be normal I say! WHY!?

Do you ever bring yearly stool samples from your chickens/ducks into the vets for parasite testing? I just brought the Goose and the ducks stool into the vet to be tested and both are parasite free!! YAY!!!

Now I don't feel so germie/nasty when they have oopsies on my floor. I do clean it up and disinfect, but for my family's protection, my other pets, and the fowl, I wanted to be sure we are all parasite free if they are coming in.

to all the lurkers who finally decided to post.

Is it EVER going to stop snowing?!

Put 9 eggs in the 'bator on Friday. We'll see what comes of it. They are EE x RSL and BSL crosses, plus 1 cochin egg and 1 egg from the BSL who's in with the cochins because one of the RSLs kept beating her up, so it'll be a cr@pshoot. DH hates our EE rooster and isn't looking forward to him reproducing, but any males will get eaten unless someone here wants a who-knows-what cockerel. Hope to get a few pullets.

May end up getting a few chicks at TSC anyway.

Thanks for the well-wishes. Sugery went well- recovery sucked. Came home and slept for three hours, and unwrapped my bandages. They were too darn tight. rewrapped them and feel much better.
I ate some soup and had a cup of coffee. I think I may have another cup.

I feel 110 times better than I did when I first came home. They kick you out pretty much once you have opened your eyes. I was nauseated, and sweating and had the worst headache and arm pain. I refused their pain meds. They only gave me a choice of vicodin or dalauded (sp). no thanks. i wanted a Tylenol 3 or a Motrin. No more IV pain meds for me. It was overkill and I didnt need it.

Anyhoo- thanks again. Hopefully now I can get better and get back to work. My empty bank account will appreciate that.

Mom 2em All - glad the surgery went well & you're back home. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Then you can also really enjoy all the new chicks when they hatch
