well just sold my blue Muscovy drake! A lady from Ellensburg lost hers and I had him on CL and she called me and is going to pick him up Thursday. Now I need a new one!!

I'm going to have ducks coming out my ears!! lol I have two hatched from my BO foster mom, with two more under her left to hatch, and two hens with 13 -18 eggs a piece under them!! ya whooo it's gonna be a mosquito free summer!!! ( well almost) lol! and I just got a new baby today, Terry is gonna kill me!

this is baby rosie, she has an under bite and is very small, my friend raises Boers but, she just has too many and no time to bottle feed this little one. I put her down on the lawn when I got home and my outside cats are almost bigger then she is!! I bout fell over laughing cause one of my cats saw her and hunched her back!!! It was hilarious!!

you do?? bucks, does ? how old?? This little gal if she turns out, is papered, but, I personally would only breed her if her jaw straightens out, which my friend say's has actually gotten better over the week. Let me know what you want CL I might be able to work something out with her, I know she has bunches!!!

My opinion ONLY --

Birds of the same age, who are pretty close to the same size can be housed together. The breeds you mentioned, BR, SLW, BO - would all be fine in a flock together. I have 8 EE's, 8 RIR's, 4 Stars, 1 BO, 1 SLW and 1 GLW-Roo - things are going along swimmingly, even tho I don't have any ducks.

I personally, would not try and put bantams and large fowl together -- UNLESS --- a bantam roo over LF hens -- maybe.

You are not a nuttie newbie -- unless we all are. Other than CR. He's old.

Tail twisting is encouraged

Stepping on rats is not. There are few to no rats on the dry side of the mtns. I've lived here for 35 yrs -- never seen a rat.

Now I've done it -- rat jinxed my own darn self.

We have B.A. PACKRATS! They are HUGE and smell like cat pee. VERY destructive.
