Marty!

I know what you mean. I've caught my moms a few times, but they were terrable scared and running, and of course the parents were hot after me and none-to-happy either.

Oh yes! Bruce surprisingly has yet to bite me when I'm near her and her babies. You can tell she's used to being my baby

Already turned on the ac for the day... sometimes wished I would have turned off the bator

Have company again... Ilike to visit but it throws the routine way off

Take Care of yourselfs while watching over your flocks

Hi PSue! How are you?

Kevin, I'm glad Bruce is still amiable to you at least. So what are you up to?

i'm moved cages around for the chicken trios, and they are enjoying life under a shade tress where the wind blows a lot. Nice summertime location. I've decided I've got too many ducks, but I don't really have the heart to part with any yet either. One of my anconas has a crest, btw. Its not big, just a little poop on the top. He or she looks so funny!

Do any of you Ancona duck folks have a pic of a male and femals togather? It seems like a few are getting a green sheen to them more than others on their black areas, but I don't know if it suggests anythinga bout gendor. Are they like Pekings, and you have to do the quack test or watch for tail feathers?
