Your right there Chris. How are ya this morning? we have rain moving in this afternoon so I have to get to the feed store before.

Slowly feeling better as the days go on. Hopefully you get a good rain without it being to crazy.

Evidently common among black female ducks. Probably has to do with all the stress of living with a drake lol Katie is 3.5 yrs old. My blue Runner [female] is also turning white.


Nope no rain there just me cleaning the poop off the walk way. Hose is my best friend.

Gotta love the water hose. I know the ducks sure do lol.

Mornin Quackie! I guess I have not typed your name in my phone enough for it to recognize it. It tried putting Quagmire down for your name. If these things are so smart, how come you can't read my mind?

He's beautiful!
Okay, I need some educating Elly. The red on his next, is that his caruncles? Do they normally spread that far away from the face?

Thank you! Yes, those are his caruncles. It is normal for them to spread that far away from their face.
Some Muscovies (not mine) get so much caruncles that they can't even see, believe it or not! They can get caruncles down their neck, too, kinda like Cocoa.

Shammy died over night. That was a $460 investment, just gone. Those birds have been pinned/segregated the entire time. I think I'm going to move them to the corner of the property. I don't know if that group had something in particular, but that's 2 birds in the last week in there to die.

I'm setting eggs today, and think I'll be listing the incubator for sale afterwards. I don't know if it's bad eggs, bad care, or bad luck, but I'm over human hatched/raised birds. They just don't seem as hardy, and they're twice as expensive in the long run. I got 2 live Silkie chicks cheaper than a single O Shamo egg.

$460 would have kept my fridge stocked for a long time. I could have made a care payment and still had a nice night out. That's a week at the beach for whoever's sake!

Maybe I'm just not meant to have asiatic games. I don't know what's going on, but I do know I'm over it.
