NEW DUCK DADDY AND LOVING IT, what about winter on these two babies?

Try putting treats on the ground a short distance from you and gradually decreasing the distance as they get comfortable. Eventually aim the have them eating from or near your hand. Thawed peas are good, as you have probably read! Or lettuce. That way you will be seen as the bringer of good things, not just the scary pen cleaning man. As you say, that takes time which is hard to find at the moment but gradually they will get used to you

The Uploads link gives you a window from which you can choose which pictures to send to your BYC account, then once that's complete you need to copy and paste the http code next to the picture on the screen into a post for the picture to show up. There are thumbnails which are difficult for me (especially without my glasses) to see, and regular size.

All your previous uploads are stored, so if you want to repost a picture in a different topic, you don't have to upload again, just copy and paste the http code. I like that feature.

(I generally don't do well explaining technical things . . . I hope there was something useful here.)

Do you still have backyard chickens? We just moved to Alpine and would be interested in getting some chickens, and I'd like to see your set up that works here with our highs and lows.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Bill Bounds

By the way, what's your name? Neighbor
