Wow! 15 dogs! Lol.

Update on my fish! All doing good! Don't think any babies have died. Mama is protecting them!View attachment 1673673

Who is she protecting them from? Is daddy fish in there?

No.. 13.. I5 is way too many!

Don't feel too bad about 13... the last time I visited one of my friends in Poland, he had roughly 45!!! Apparently he took up breeding German Shepherds, and Great Pyrenees on a rather large scale haha. When I walked onto his property and I heard all the barking, and saw the wooden fence bouncing back and forth from the dogs jumping at it, I thought they would knock the fence down and eat me alive. He comes out of the house and says, oh don't worry about them... you see that St. Bernard over there? just look out for her because she is the guard dog. I'll tell you that nobody is going to go on his property at night and steal his pigeons

The dad's in there. But he doesn't bother her. She really isn't guarding her dry from anything. Just instinct I guess.

I think he was trying to block the camera from taking a pic of the egg.

I am cheering them on, I want to see some parlor babies!

I felt up my youngest bird this morning and the separation was pronounced - hen. She was hatched Oct 22.
