I'm surprised it's back up. I heard this morning anti's had it shut down for nudity and lewdness or some crap, even got the feed on Facebook shutdown.
If I heard right the mamma giraffe is one of the last one's born at the Catskill Game Farm before they closed. That place was hugemungus. I went there as a kid and was fortunate to take our older children a couple yrs before they closed. Animal Adventure is a nice place too, not very big but makes a good trip if you live near it. Not a place you could spend all day though. Been there a couple times. They definitely have room for expansion if they wanted to.
It's right next to chickengirls, you'all going to chickenstock should stop and see the place, doesn't cost much and kids really enjoy it. Way better than the Ross Park zoo in Binghamton IMHO.

Edit; looks like they are expanding. We went the first yr they opened, and again one other time but I don't remember when that was, maybe last yr, maybe yr before, IDK? Time flies somehow...

I've been following Animal Adventure too - we took Dad there for Father's Day in 2015 (I think) & enjoyed it.

I had an issue w/ my old flock and not quarantining and it was my own stupidity due to the bad environment I had gotten the birds from as in hundreds of birds crammed in an old dairy barn (in Wisconsin) I had previously introduced birds from a healthy well maintained flock source w/o issue. Even w/ quarantining the carrier birds never got sick just mine it wouldn't have mattered how long I kept them separated.... So my moral is I only hatch now from good sources and never wear my chicken shoes anywhere else lol...

My old flock that survived is still at my mother's farm and a closed flock it was sad I lost a lot of beautiful birds...

@Gramma ChickThese are all Wheaten Ameraucana. The breeder keeps standard in with blue. She has had at least two roosters throw the straw colored hackles. My first one in 2015 (see avatar), and this one that horsekeeper got last year. I haven't contacted her to find out why she thinks this happens. Theories include silver or cream genes that aren't evident in one of her hens. The Ameraucana board has informed me, "That's an Easter Egger," but that is their default whenever a bird doesn't conform to APA standard colors. I happen to like it better than the standard color and hope that it could turn into a color that breeds true.

Edited to add, one of the possibilities is a splash wheaten, like what happens with Marans.

I have seen several of you mention a vet who cares for chickens and other poultry being needed. There is one in Binghamton on Front Street. If you need the information let me know. I haven't had to visit them but they are very nice people.

Lol, no. A friend I work with is looking for orps. I'd like to hatch them out for her.
