Dutch, thanks!!!!! I love all of the pics!!!

Adeline looks adorable! Maddie's coloring is quite beautiful. I would love to see more pics of her.

I'll see what I can do...she's bad about spacing out, but I should be able to. I can show you her bill. She has learned to use it well, thank goodness. She's not as much of a snuggle bug, either.

YEAH UTAH !! doing the

Dutch VERY PRETTY PICS ! I love how you put the names in order so we know who is who

My fave is Marcel ~ Such beautiful contrast colorings! Its funny HAHA

How out of all of my geese I love my 2 dark ones the Wild & toulouse/chinese cross ~ Who I have named
Samson & Delilah

I am not a fan of all white geese I have found out, so eating my embdens is going to be easier. Don't know if I will be able to eat my dark ones & the colored sebbies I have. I am planning on keeping just 3 trios & the rest will be sold or to the freezer.

I took pics of the 5 Anconas Eye

gave me the other week

Thanks Jaz, and I always enjoy your pics, too. I'm not big on solid white birds, either....fortunately, my Seb gander has grey leaking through. The curly feathers make him quite pretty, too, so I'm good with him being white, lol. The silkie eggs I got ended up producing a lot of whites...argh! Oh and Marcel, the African, is a pretty bird. I love her long neck, kind of like a swan. Even my boyfriend commented on her, and he has no interest in my critters. He did get a kick out of watching my dewlaps come running to see me, lol. He said he'd never seen such a thing. I picked up Simon for him to pet and he just couldn't believe he was so gentle and loving.

Dutch your Blue runners look like my Blue Cayugas! I found the Black indian runner look like the beetle sheen of the cayugas too!
Same color & markings ~ I want a blue goose!!!

I have the one black runner drake, and he has beetle green and purple sheen. I love how the black birds do that. I'm really liking the looks of the cayugas...may have to think about getting a pair of them one day. I did'nt know there were blue ones. I love blue birds, and black ones.

LOL...Hi Kevin!!!

Kevin, I never noticed before that you are in Texas too. Ya'll been getting a lot of rain huh? Send some our way. We need it for the hay to grow. Otherwise it will be like last year when you couldn't buy hay and everyones horses like to have starved to death. I have friends who helped me out as much as they could on hay prices but still it was terrible. I hope I never have to live through another drought like that again. I worked a serious amount of overtime and it all went on hay. What are you doing up so late anyway?

She's not only in Texas, but she lives in whacky Waco, lmao! She's building a zoo because she can get a little of everything there

 

[DutchChic]

And of course I end up in the room after everyone else is gone...figures, lol

 

[DutchChic]

Annnnnd of course I'm here before anyone else!

 

[Iain Utah]

Hey Dutch!

Having a good weekend?

 

[Wulfandwyn]

Hi everyone!

I sold one of my adult muscovy hens to make room for some of the babies. And if it works out I will have sold two of my juvenile muscovies later today

. Even with all that I will still have 10 ducks which is about 6 too many for my yard.

 

[JazminesZoo]

SOOOO happy mu hubby is handy! He is building my pheasant pen ~ I think he deseves a big kiss ! Will post pics later.... This is just phase one obviously

 

[Kevin565]

OH... remember these little duckies??? Beaker and Bunsen?? (if not refer to about page 5 of this thread.)




Well.... Here is Beaker now!!



Sitting on her very first NEST!!!


ETA: Bunsen is standing guard on the outside.. and I LOVE how they let me and the kids get close to them, but attack any other ducks that come that way. lol. She still trusts me. Yay!!

Aww beaker is going to make a great mom!

Hey Dutch!

 

[Kevin565]

I'm making some major cut backs now. I'm weeding out all the aggressive birds (Which is like half of my birds) and rehoming them to better suiting homes.
