I attempted to introduce him to Howard and those girls but Howard will kill him for sure. He is not up for that. He said hell to the no.

Yes. . and no. I don't want to condemn him to a life of solitude. . and I've already got ducks in three different places as it is. And I live in town so I can't really have another flock just for him. And If He is anywhere he can see the flock he beats himself against the wire and about kills himself. I just have to learn to let some of them go.

Its horrible, I know. We've had to rehome 3 roo's over the years here. I know people do it all the time & don't think anything about it, but its real life trauma when it happens here. I'm still not over letting any of them go.

Speaking of whom......?

So hubby and I decided yesterday that we have to get rid of a drake. After Sofie s jail break yesterday she got roughed up pretty bad and so I took Memphis out and peace unto all was restored in the palace. All the girls hate him. But he is so friendly to people I just hate to give him up.

I was ok with the decision yesterday. . hubby is putting together a transport cage to take him to the sale next Saturday and now I feel like crying. View attachment 1318997 I'm going to miss him.

I hated to get rid of Ion too, but some things just have to be done. I'd like to have him back now, since the stupid hawk killed Bacardi, but I have no doubt that Lexi will hatch a few boys anyway, in a couple of weeks.

And I have an external pip in the incubator!

Oh correction. . I have ducks in 4 places at the moment. . Memphis and duck are temporary cell mates.

I thought about you and Lon last night when we were discussing it. Like you said. . if I end up letting one sit on eggs then it's even worse for the girls. It's for the ladies. I keep telling myself that.

There are 3, one hadn't come out to play yet.
I was told they had just fledged from momma when I got them, I keep waiting for their ceres to change, but they haven't yet, i believe they are a little over 3 months old now. One is a week older than the other 2.



They sure look nice and healthy!



Glad she fell asleep for you, but yea, grandparents don't have those rules.



on the creepy factor and the white eggs!

Dudders is still very curious of the budgies, so I am not able to let they fly about just yet. unfortunately i don't let them out very often, so their flight skills are still weak, but they try!



omg
Got yer boots on? Or just the bib?



Right!



Dan is our token youngen. He pops in with pics of his animals from time to time.



Agreed, but she is convinced otherwise. So....I'll happy accept eggs from her test.

Yes they do.

I know it's hard, but better than ending up with injuries/truma that were preventable...
