Me. Kinda disappointed that no one here remembered that I have 'em.

They have tufts and no tails.



. . . And I've now got enough Araucana production to hatch eggs and sell eggs!!

to the victims of the Tsunami and NUMEROUS earthquakes in and around Japan. Did you know there are STILL aftershocks going on all day today in the 5.0-6.5 scale region?!

OMGOSH, how cute are those shirts and oh... that is one cute little ducky... Makes me kind of want one, but only if it would stay small enough to sit on my laptop when I was here!
Nice work on creating the shirts, and nice work on growing yourself a little duck!

In the midst of all our sad news today, hearing about your araucanas is a little ray of sunshine Illia! My daughter has specifically asked for at least one to be part of our little family flock. Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have a pretty pullet available for her. Speaking of my daughter - she'll be home from Pullman in about 2 hours. She's here for spring break and will be coming to Monroe with me! I can't wait to see her...

Hatchatitus
Do you still have them? or did you send them to summer camp??

You know, the first time I saw Muscovies, it seriously freaked me out.
I was at a river bank illegally feeding the ducks and along came a very scary scar faced duck that looked like a swimming turkey.

My son, who was 2 just laughed at it...me, I fell backward and almost landed on duck poo. Got it all over my hands.

I thought for sure I must have spotted a rare and exotic breed of never before seen bird from....Siberia or something, this is not a bird in my bird spotter's handbook.

So I called the local Audbon Society. They took 2 days to identify the darn bird as a domestic bird....a commonwater fowl.

But I tell you, it had a face that would scare any urban trick or treater. Very seriously lumpy and bumpy. I think it was someone's prized show quality bird though as I latr learned that the lumpy bumps are desirable.
But to this day, I look out for the Turkey Duck Monster of the Sammamish River.

I imagine it coming from behind me and cornering me for crumbs...forcing me to fall into the water!!

OK no more caffine for me.
