Thanks ! for the welcome

I took a couple pics of my babies! ever since I saw Cayugas at the fair I was like " THAT IS ONE STUNNING BIRD!" I was in love with em without ever having one, now I have my 1st babies!

I also have 15 Chinese Geese, & 95 turkey eggs hatching New Years !

I want some!! (That was irrational.. let me think this through...)

SM: Your situation won't last forever. At some point he's going to search for his bio fam. That can be the light at the end of your tunnel.

By the time they hatch, it will be next year, right? Granted, it will only be January, but it will still be 2012!

SM, that has to be really hard, especially during the holidays, but QJ is right, and he will look you up. We have an adopted son, and it was very important to him to find his "biological" family. Now he stays in contact with his mother and his two sisters.

Craz, I see you have horses, what kind?

I haven't hatched anything yet but "mysteriously" I have acquired an 8 month old muscovy hen today

Just have to figure out a way to mention this to my husband

my rationale is that I have a bad drake to hen ratio but I still have one too many drakes I think. Now 2 drakes 4 hens. I think this is just how chicken and duck math works

Well, she just flew in and you don't know where she came from. If hubby wants to go kick her out in the cold all alone right before Christmas then just go ahead, lol.

Nope. Is there a contact listed on their website? You could either email or call to ask how to place your order.

SM, that is bad about your grandson

But he will come looking one day - I agree with the others.

Welcome JZ!

Cayugas are stunning.

Good news that Beaker's bandage is coming off .... slowly! Makes me squirm just thinking about it.

I took a duck to the avian vet this morning. She's been laying soft shelled eggs most days (the other days she lays hard eggs but they are rough like sandpaper). He said that she has an infection in her shell gland, right at the end of the reproductive tract where the shell is put down. She is on antibiotic tablets for a month now. Hope it does the trick. If not, then it just means she will continue to lay dodgy eggs but it won't affect her otherwise. It's expensive going to the avian vet but i always learn something and it has always helped my ducks. This vet's practice is in my street - how lucky is that?

I hope your duckie gets better 70​
