The Quack Shack

Sometimes Often I just save them and then send them on to another home, since, I hate to say it, hatchery chicks just don't really do it for me anymore.

But bantams are often the exception. If these little ones are hens, likely I'll keep them and give them to a ko shamo cock. That would make for some interesting crosses!

It's funny because we were just talking about Sultans the other day and how I liked them and now I have two again. Not great stock, but still. Haha.

You know, hatchery ducks don't bother me, but for some reason chickens do. Maybe it because my ducks are just pets. I bet if I had sop breed Runners, I'd think differently.

Chickens though, they got me by the wallet stitching. Trying to explain to my wife why a single chicken is worth $75 is like teaching calculus.

That is pretty funny. I'm taking a small road trip to see a breeder this weekend @cra8ychix and her husband. We are going to look at a Houdan flock... I'm not supposed to be getting birds right now... I've still got ~ 28 eggs incubating... But, they have Sultans too. Don't be suprised if I come home with a pair too.

Hey, if they're nice get me some eggs I've been after nice Sultans for a long time. They're just so rare I haven't found any.

Well, an update on the babies I brought home. As expected, the two OEGBs didn't make it The duckling also passed away; it might have had other internal issues aside from being blind.

But, the two sultans and the polish rallied and are doing well.

Ok I cleaned this yesterday. It's green season here. See the little cat prints? @WannaBeHillBilly you remember green season?View attachment 2050805

Guess what: We have the first flowers here (Crocus and Daffodils) and many trees are showing the first green leaflets. - @Magnolia Ducks - Do you remember the hot & dry season?

Its one day of pollen.

I vividly remember when Wifie parked the car outside under our pine tree.
There should have been a red car outside, next morning, but it was in fact orange.
She used the windscreen washer, resulting in a thick yellow paste blocking the wipers.
And that happens always on that morning when you overslept and have an urgent appointment…
And dressed in something black…

I had on black jeans today. Or green...
