I told you those ducks would smell like farts!
Yes they are!Thank you!
I was thinking about Mama on the ride to work. Wondered how you told her apart from all your other Sumatras. Is there something about her that stands out?no I don't ship birds. I think it is so wrong to pack a living thing in a box and hope the USPS doesn't kill it. Perhaps that thought will change in the future, but right now I don't.
I peeked in at Mama this morning. 4 lil face looking at me and Mama is still sitting tight on the nest
Besides her butt kicking mothering style of course.well I have had Mama 5 years and she is 6 so there are a few things that stand out. At the base of her tail is one out of place black feather, the has HUGE spurs for a hen, and there is her personality. I'm her favorite human. She is the only Blue I have who will purposely seek me out. She looks for me for special private meals. With or without lil ones. Very few of my Sumatra's stand out from each other. Mama is in the handful or 2 that stand out.I was thinking about Mama on the ride to work. Wondered how you told her apart from all your other Sumatras. Is there something about her that stands out?
Abnormal eggs are funny to talk about. As long as it is rare and not the norm every thing is fine. It is usually just a hormonal hick-up or even a grain of sand like substance.
Came across this abnormality on FB. Thought it was the weirdest egg I have ever seen. What do you think?
The shell is described as hard shell and no yolk!

a female chick's ovary contains all of the ova it will ever have when it's hatched. The ovary begins to convert ova to egg yolks when she is mature. With the right lighting conditions exists, hormones stimulate ova to develop into yolks. Yolks are released from the ovary into the oviduct when they reach the right size and travel down the oviduct to acquire their whites, membranes, color (if any) and shell. Sometimes things are not perfect and the shell can be squed, and even backed up and another shell layd over the top of another shell. An egg requires approximately 25 hours to complete the addition of the egg white, the shell membranes, and the shell. Soon after an egg is laid, the process starts again.
mind if I join in?
