just south of you the way it sounds...
I looked at your pics, the ducks are they yours, if so tell me about the one's labeled pintails.....they are rather interesting to look at.

Yep, I hatched all those. The northern pintails were shipped eggs and I managed to hatch 3 out of 5 eggs in my brinsea mini incubator. That was the most exciting hatch I've ever had lol. Pintails are gorgeous but boy were they flighty! Obviously so since they are a wild duck and nothing like domestics. Haven't had any other wild type bird since then. Think it'll be awhile till I dabble back into wild/ornamental birds. I'm back on a chicken kick right now

is that Longwood gardens?...i love that place, been there couple times..haven't been there for awhile though..20+years!...and no way your that kid!!! hahaha, I like ya Blanrney, but she is all mine!!!

**Avlana- Hello & welcome

...like MC said..you will never be the same!!..in a good way

.....

**Man, it was ..wait , IS so dang cold out there!!! The sky is soo clear though- beautiful..tons of stars! First year with the birds..trying to get a system for this frigid weather...I now know I have to get rubber-bowl for their water.
Trying to be careful not to crack/break these plastic ones when it is this cold is a nightmare!! ...might not be for "normal" people, but i am like a bull in a china shop...i try to be careful, that sometimes makes things worse though

....
we will make through this weather/season, just need to get into a 'new-groove' . Not doing the heated water thing...no electricity & don't really want to deal with that aspect right now either.
Hope everyone is fairing well...stay warm!!

**MC- had no-idea warm/hot water freezes faster than cold...wow..

...okay. Might have to bring the FF inside, will see if the cooler is still working tomorrow morning. ..These old farm houses are cold!! I have been under a throw and warm doggy all day!!!!

.oh.,.and lots of HOT coffee!!!

Hello everyone

I'm new to the PA thread. Thought I'd join. I'm located in south central PA. Just south of Harrisburg.

Welcome! Just remember, hatching season is just around the corner for a lot of us.

Avian a, I had to take a look at those Pintails...your photos are unbelievable!

Yup LMP, that is Longwood, I had more pics and an explanation but hubby needed the computer. I live about 10 minutes from Longwood, today was the last day for the mum display, the mums are usually in full bloom today and at their peak.
