Brinsea question again about the humidity. How big is the water reservoir area in inches especially the depth ?

 

[Knock Kneed Hen]

My mom is looking for another female duck. She prefers a white Muscovy as she used to have one as a child, but I think if she got one like Leia she'd get over wanting a Muscovy! If anyone has a NICE hen that they would like to find a good home for let me know. Thanks

ETA: Just saw these in the county shelter website. Anyone know what they are and how old a duck has to be to sex it? http://sddac.com/shelter_list.asp

Okay, so it's 3AM and I find myself on the chicken cam - quite entertaining! It's 6AM there so they're all just waking up, and goat is banging it's head against the hanging ball. Thanks for the fun link!

I wonder where I can get a feeder like the one they have where I can feed my chickens from anywhere in the world.

About when they start feathering out, the females have a louder more distinctive quack, and the boys have more of a quiet, whispery quack. When they are starting to get their "quacker" the females tend to have a crackling voice kinda like a pre-teen boy. lol
To me those ducklings look like they will be getting their voices sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.
Maybe you can adopt them both and wait and see. It's only around $2.50 to adopt them. Unlike chickens, it's easy to find homes for boy ducks because they are quiet.

Those ducklings are so cute, and I want all the bunnies. I think I could slip into "Crazy Old Lady Animal Hoarder" status way too easily...

(Thankfully, I am limited by money, space and a decidedly level-headed husband.)

Those Cocopops are neat! Are you ready for some snow this weekend, Cara? It will be crazy if we get some this low!

Cari - how are all the new babies doing?

Laurel - nice to see you here! My friend Karen and I still plan on coming up to your place as soon as she finishes her gate project.

I need to go get some outdoorsy things accomplished today before we get this next round of storms, including buying fresh shavings. That's another ridiculously expensive item - maybe we should band together again for a shavings group purchase? (Hey - I can dream.)
