Morning All,
Can't believe how much cooler it's gotten the last few days. Kinda nice....Anywho, my silkies are 10 wks old today and still no signs as to any roos. One was crowing a week or so back but hasn't since. They're getting so big and taking up a lot of space in this coop now that they're in with the adults. I think I'm going to have to do some altering on that coop to expand their run a little bit.

Picking up a bearded dragon for my son today. I wanted it to be a surprise for the last day of school which isn't until next Friday, but if I want one I gotta get it from this person today. So I either try everything in my power to hide it from him until then, or I come up with some story to make him think it's not here to stay permanently unless he continues to do well in school for the next week and a half. (He has a really tough teacher for a first grader, she's strict and has the most 3 wild boys in her class out of the 3 classes. So my son, although not one of them, he's been following in their footsteps every time they get out of control which has gotten him into some trouble throughout the year) Needless to say I really dont like his teacher and I cannot wait for this school year to be over! He's trying really good to behave and I see that so this is an early birthday gift/finish of first grade surprise.

Beardies are quiet, I'm sure you could hide it somewhere. How old is it?

It's young, they going on 4wks old. My problem is keeping the terrarium somewhere out of site from my kids. Especially with the lights/lamps on it.

Good morning all!

pharm I'm glad the terrorist are accepting the tots.

lynzi good luck with the bearded dragon

so my babies made it through the night with my mean silkies, of course I forgot to put them in the coop so the slept outside in the run. All my other babies went in there coops automatically I forgot you had to do this. But I do keep my runs locked at night so all is well.

I have a feeling this person is going to flake on me. Emailed this morning asking if they were still available to meet today for 12:30 and still no reply. They're out in Utica and agreed to meeting me at the casino exit so that means I'd have to leave here by 11:30 the latest. UGH This is why I don't like going thru CL, should have stuck with my plan of getting one from the petstore next Friday. But no, I always have to do things the complicated way.

 

[miquwid]

I hope it works out for you good luck!

No reply until after 11:30, so it's a no go. May try for another day, we'll see.

Meanwhile, took a pic of the kits:

A week after we released our ducks back on to the pond we noticed that they had a little buddy tagging along with them. Have no clue where its real parents are.

I have seen garden donations ...(.plants that grow without being planted ) This a new one Duck donations ..
Poor little thing probably lost his parents to a predator ...it is a real survivor ..it even found a itself new family .
Needs a Name like Rambo or something

do you have a attic or shed ?

 

[Lynzi777]

I have a shed but no electricity to run to it and they need a heat/UVB lamp over their cage. I'm not meeting with person now, don't know when my husband is going to be off again to make the trip by myself so I guess it worked out. I'll just get one from the pet store next Friday while he's at school. Call around the day before to make sure they have one for me.

Just stepped into the house for a min to drop the mail and my husband is inside watching some food show as always. He says "they were just preparing Silkie chicken!" I said don't get any ideas! Lol
