I have a few who have earned their status as lifetime pets. A RIR who was older, never laid good since I got her, is now an internal layer and will live here until she dies. She got sour crop over the summer and became very ill. I would put her outside, and at night she'd come fall asleep by the front door waiting for me to bring her in and put her in her box in the kitchen.

I also have a small silkie mix who is sweet with my daughters, and lets them pick her up. She's here forever too. The others aren't very attatched to me, and while friendly I haven't gotten too attatched to them. It's easier for me to sell them while they are still small then later, after I've gotten to know them.

Woo hoo! I think all Christmas parties are over.

. Tomorrow I work on the front porch. The babies are getting TOO big for the bathtub. They can't have their fuzzy pillow in their cause they stand up on it real tall and jump and almost get out. Libby, the smaller yellow duck is really turning colors. I will have to get a pic of her tomorrow so you can see her. The rest of the night I am vegging out on the couch till bed time. FIL had some good cherry flavored margaritas that were so good. I couldn't help myself, I had a few.

.

EV. Have you candled yet? I did tonight and I didn't see anything.

. I am giving them a few more days and if there isn't anything's by this next weekend out they go. I sure hope yoi get some that are fertile. I know I just gave them too you but I will feel bad if they are all duds.

Well gonna veg for awhile, do some faacebook lurking and maybe see what online sales I can find. Talk to you soon.

Nope no I didnt candle yet.. I wouldn't think I'd see anything right. Now would I'm only on day one???

I'll see if I don't see anything I'll try Wednesday night.

Dont feel bad if they don't grow.... We can't control what our duck do..

would t it be nice if we could though

 

[Evelle]

Just did didnt see really much of anything.. But it hasn't been long

DG I panicked when I saw all the feathers from my silkie when she was molting. I thought for sure a dog had got in the yard until I did a headcount.
Evelle- I couldn't see anything until at least day 3-4 with my duck eggs.

Wow, it'd be great to have you all here. If any of you ever come to Australia, you must visit. My parents live in Sydney and they love showing people round too. Start working on those lottery tickets.
I've been to to US a couple of time for short trips. Been to New York, Chicago, and Lawrence, Kansas.My hubby has been to a few places too but we've never been together (trips were before we met). I dare say we'll be back some day

Merry Christmas!!!!

Hope you're all having a fun day.
