I hear ya, you sound like me, LOL

Was just getting one here to see what you ended up getting, I was excited for you, right now just having to live threw yall. But have plans to get that pen up this summer still.
Just got to wait til the egg money from all the other bantams peafowl and turkeys starts coming in again before I can get started good on the pen itself.

Having to put in 20 more bantam stalls right now, just started that today, and need to get 10 more peafowl pens done quick before they start too, so got my hands and wallet full right now.

Throw us some pics up as soon as you can, would love to see those Hawaiian ducks, just curious, what did they cost? You dont see many of them around. Watch them with your other birds if they are in a community pen. They are basically a mallardish bird and do breed the same, meaning everybodys fair game in their pen, dont want a lot of mixes...

Congrats on the new birds

Thanks!!! I will get some pictures posted soon.. And videos of all their little moves and sounds!

sounds good.
I hear ya on the weather too, last week we seemed to be in low 20's up to 40 ish in the evenings, today was 77 here.

Dont worry, it's supposed to get cold again next week.
My stuff dont know what to do either, the peafowl are out there dancing and courting like it's late March
Turkesy are gobbling, here and in the woods, and the bantams have started to lay a little already, now we'll freeze again as soon as this next front comes threw and screw them all up, LOL


Me too for that matter, never know what to wear any more when I get up, have to go to the front dorr and do the leg test, poke one out the door to see how cold it is,

Yep, I saw that last night before I went to bed. It's still supposed to be 75 here today, and get to us tonight, so I got to get my butt out there and finish all the post I started yesterday on the bantam stalls.
