I am getting really excited!! I only have two more days of my high school career FOREVER!!

Commencement is June 1st, but the seniors get out earlier than the rest of the school. I will not miss anything about high school except for a few of my favorite teachers and most of my classmates.

Congrats Theron!

My son is getting excited, too. 3 days to go for him.

Stacy, that's so funny.

I break my broodies by putting them in a wire cage on the floor in the middle of the coop with food a water - being out in the open for a few days has always worked for me.

Thanks! i just want them to stop being broody, hopefully hatching and raising chicks does that. They are tenacious! The 'broody breaking' techniques I read about don't seem very nice, so this is the best, I think.

This is what I do with a large guinea pig cage. They hate it but it only has taken two days each time for me.

Just got home and brought home three more flats of veggies to plant.

As if I don't have enough already to plant! Has anyone grown pyrethrum before? I couldn't resist. I think I'm going to put it in a hanging basket on my chicken coop.

Raz... you need a good groomer? (for the dogs!!!

) Those are some purdy gals you got! *sniff sniff I miss my golden mix*

Yes, all three dogs need a good grooming. I don't know how my old samoyed will make it through summer without that short shave haircut. And his nails are so long.

The dirty girls need groomed too.

Where are you located?

I have a friend that would like to get a trio of Call ducks - anyone have any they are looking to sell?

After docent duty today, I went to Grass Roots. The owner keeps fowl there.
His peacock is completely white but doesn't have pink eyes. Black eyes and feet but has no colour at all in his feathers. Partial albino, I guess. He was doing his strut for the peahen. I might have to go back with my camera.

I broke from the chicken part of our forum and bought a butterfly koi.

And some aquatic plants. But I didn't forget my hens...they got BOSS.

I think we need pictures of the butterfly koi!

I believe there are just plain white -- not a mutation, such as albino, but white as in genetically white like white chickens -- pea fowl.

Some all white animals are leucistic rather than albino, but as Olive said, there are simply white peafowl out there. Melanistic peafowl may be an interesting sight.
I've seen a few that are a mixture of white and regular peafowl coloration and I'm not sure about it but they may be piebald, which is partial leucism I believe.
