The Quack Shack

I felt like getting the camera out today, lol.

This is my feral EE bantam cockerel. And I mean feral. He sleeps in the trees, only jumps into the run to eat, and then he's off free ranging around and in the woods. I can't get near him without him taking off. He is wild. I don't know why he's like this, since he's one of the babies I rescued from work and I raised him indoor.

Here's a picture of Ciara. That dangling thing at the base of her neck is where the booming sound females make is generated.

And here's a cute preening Aztec hen.

Yes I love him very much but he hates me. He's a very good drake but my toes are fair game.

My Ralphie dux developed a toe fetish for a while. I took that as a sign he wanted to be picked up and cuddled
After a few days of that he decided to leave them alone.

I do that but have to watch that he can't put out my eye. The only way to stop him eating my toes is to cuddle him but I'd rather lose a toe than an eye. He really loves those eggs.

Good evening folks Hope everyone has had a great day. Sorry, got sucked into work.

Good morning Wunda & Kiwi, have a great day.

Lisa, have been pecked in the eye by a turkey, I can assure you eye protection is a good thing.

Well true.

Mine was a little call duck so I didn't have to worry about that.

Hey Kiwi, good morning and now that I've been schooled that its KiwiFRUIT. Do you ever make ice cream with it. I've got a small crate I need to do something with. And thanks for the schooling, I was able to amaze dh with knowledge.

He did ask if I was going to put her into the freezer... I told him NO she's my favorite hen. When I'd set on shelters, she'd jump into my lap and purrrrr while I petted her. she was just aggravated that I wasn't paying attention to her.
