Well, my Call eggs are coming along. Two quit, so I'm down to four. Fingers crossed that I get at least two to hatch, lol. I don't need a lone duckling.

I havent checked mine yet but i have 4 in the bator now..

Update on Zailey. Her white cell count is still up. So we're are probably looking at a week before she can come home so she can do a full round of antibiotics. They are talking about a spinal tap now to determine exactly what it is we're dealing with so they can target it with specific antibiotics.
Please keep her in you prayers and thoughts.

@duluthralphie you would have liked my ducks today. Two of them are trying to commit suicide!! My Cayuga baby ate a whole toad stool looking mushroom. I don't think that is good.
Then one of my call ducks has made a nest in the run. .. Right beside the feeder and apparently wasn't letting anyone eat. So when I made her get up They all took turns gorging themselves. . . one duck ate so much so fast she almost choked to death.

Missing notifications again! I've been busy, summer's great for keeping me moving.

Got a mid life crisis tatoo, watching geese and ducks grow, and packing to have a little trip. All is well. How's everyone else doing?
