Great pictures Stony, and the ducks are adorable. Are they all runners?

Whoa! That's very similar to how I make Injera, an Ethiopian flatbread. I use a bit of lemon juice as a starter to sour my watery dough. No fruits though. I leave it up to a couple days for some real ripening/bubbling. I never thought of that being just like sourdough. Wow, thank you again for these links.

And... the "mystery chick" Miss Black:

Such pretty hens and rooster! Is the mystery chick an australorpe?

I think she is...but everyone tells me the legs are the wrong color?
