[Fields Mountain Farm]

Oh, This is a picture of the "cabin lake" before I saw all the Dux trying to dirty the water. This is my Son, two grandkids and I fishing the first night there. DIL took the picture from our dock.

So I've been noticing a bit of damage beginning on the adult Cayuga girls necks, I've been watching more closely to figure out if one of my young drakes is starting to get too aggressive. I put a purple bracelet on the one drake I'm pretty certain I wanna keep so I can tell them apart and take note of his behavior before I decide for sure.
Guess what?
There is no purple in this picture . . only orange and yellow.
Dang lesbians

No, it's the two original girls Jana give me.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

here are the boys and rain.

The boy on the right is sly. The one I think I will keep. He keeps a watchful eye over rain and so far no mating behavior towards her.
See him giving me the side eye as I come closer
