The only birds that would not eat you if you trip in front of them are turkeys...

They only want to love people.

Do you cook your duck to well done? I prefer it to be cooked to a medium temp.

Yes, I roasted that one slowly. I had to skin it because the plucking wasn't going well for me, so I put bacon across its breast. That seemed to help keep it moist. It was a mule duck.

I've got a chicken. My AC hen does this strange pose when I pick her up. She'll squat a bit and articulate her wings in a "M" shape. It looks kind of like she's bracing for impact.

Thus is what normally leads me to seeing her do it. She doesn't like to be pick up, so I don't unless I need to. She doesn't run frantically when I approach her, but does walk away. I'll just herd her like a duck and she calmly walks away. Sometimes though, she'll walk 15ish feet, and just stop and "brace for impact."

When that happens, she starts looking over both shoulders like she's about to get stepped on. Im normally at least 4-5 feet behind her too, but she holds that position until I walk up and pick her up. Then she's fine and just lays down in my hand and lets me walk around.

Does this this sound like normal behavior? It's happened about a dozen times in the last ~6 weeks. I've tried getting a picture but have not been successful.

She thinks you're the rooster.

Caught up with you guys for a couple pages...

Trim, I'm really hoping you wake up feeling much better this morning! Sorry to hear about Mrs. Brown...that makes feeling bad even worse

And for duluth..the "dux hater"... how can you resist these sweet, messy, feather babies!?
Excuse the X rated images...I was trying to get some nice pics of them in their clean pool, but they had other things in mind!

Tom the drake is crazy about his woman Fraggles! He's right behind her all day.
