the rest of the flock. One was hiding and was hoping hermione would move. Dont worry we will be enlarging their area when we have the money. We are low on money right now so will have to wait a little while

So the brown ones, those are chocolates? I see you also live close to an airport. Are ducks sometimes go crazy running and quacking when the coast guard does there trainings and are lower. The daycare kids LOVE it! Lol

Three months. I'm not good at guessing weight. My cat is 7.5 lbs (vet weighs her) and they weigh less then her.

I looked at those pics last night till cross eyed and still am confused, the face makes me thing girl, but the long tail makes me think boy then i went and looked at some pic of my girls at that age and it was very similar . More side pic and more front views with better pics of her legs from front. She will think she's going to be in movies with you taking so many pics of her. They can really throw ya off.

Ok Miss Lydia here are the best ones I was able to get.

She worked very hard to give me every angle but the one needed!

Here is the best front one. I can try to get a better one.

That bird is so small for a drake.. i just don't see it sorry i simply don't.. if you look through my album you'll see dozens and dozens of scovies.. the males are really big my just turned 8wk old i am standing there staring at them this am and they are bigger than their mother.. pouring rain or i'd show you.



This is a pic of Julie last year i cannot recall her age in this pic but less than 1yo as she didn't turn one till this March..

Good luck with the hatch but honestly i'd let her be.. all the candling in the world will not get you to avoid trouble, i have found that just doesn't help, i will candle an egg to see if the nest is worthwhile but let things be after that.. otherwise i am only harassing the mama, personally i have had hatches go either way my candling has made no difference.

Candling has allowed me to save quite a few that could not pip externally.

well, i have found those that will live do and it's not say i have never helped eggs i have .. but i prefer not to interfere to much, just different management practices.
