Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

The little dark frizzle on the right is just adorable.

I'm honestly not sure yet if that one is a pure cochin or choc orp/cochin mix. I'm thinking the ones with more elaborate leg feathers are my pures, but the verdict is still out! Lol

Maybe he's fast cuz he never knows when he'll push the line too far and end up in solitary with just bread and water... Ok, that was enough for me...

I think he saw his pic on CL. He's been good as gold to me since George arrived. Hmmm. But Katherine isn't quite so taken with little George just yet

OK, forget the frizzle part. Just adorable with crazy feathers.

I hope its a girl.

Intimidated by his replacement! And I just noticed when I clicked on that pic what pic # it was!

Good evening, pond peeps!

Hi, Debs. Pull up a lily pad.

Hi Deb! Hope your Monday wasn't too bad.

I like to start my day with a good cup of coffee and usually go to bed after my favorite adult beverage.

In between waking and sleeping, I enjoy chatting with friends about chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, and all our fine feathered friends. And even our 4 legged furry friends!

So I thought I would start my own thread where friends can get together, share stories and pictures (I love pics!) about pretty much anything going on in our lives. Even "real work", if we must. My only preference is to avoid politics and religion. Those usually just start arguments and/or hard feelings and this should be an enjoyable retreat!

So.... a few things that I like: Hatching!! Basically anything that can come out of an egg. I'm an admitted hatch-aholic, with no desire to change at this point. So far, I have hatched ducks, turkey, bantam chickens, large fowl chickens, and quail. I also enjoy learning about taking care of these animals and all that goes with that! I like selling eggs and chicks, and hope to someday make more of a business of this thing that I have fallen in love with over the past year or so.

But besides chickens (et. al.), which takes up a lot of my time now, I also enjoy sewing, quilting, woodworking, building stuff, cars, guns, hunting, fishing, photography, cooking, gardening, movies, television, windows, sludge, gutters, frogs, monkeys, and squirrels! just to name a few things. (Oh look... squirrel!)...

Oh, where was I? I got lost, but that's nothing new to those who know me.

Anyway, feel free to paddle on out to the middle where the bar is, or hang out on the bank and watch. Just please don't try walking on the water. It may look solid, but its probably not.

Hi, Debs. Pull up a lily pad.

Kersplash...did you wax the lily pads, Sour? I keep sliding right off.

Hi Deb! Hope your Monday wasn't too bad.

Hi Friday! It sure was a Monday. Got to work and we had no power. Got out to the parking garage, power came back on. Got upstairs, power went out. LOL...I just sat there giggling. Thankfully, I was one of the first ones there & it came back on.

I think someone put silk sheets on them. Ever try to do anything on silk sheets?

I figured I would show some pictures of my critters. The first two pics are of Bunny, she's a 16 week old Cream Brabanter/Dominique cross and she's my 2 yr old daughters favorite chicken. The two goats are Spiderman (the black) and Batman (the reddish). They were named by my 6 yr old son. Batman is a Nubian and Spiderman is a Nubian/Alpine/?. The last pic is my Dominique cockerel Stewart and one of his girlfriends.

Lovely animals !

I'm klutzy anyway. Once sat down on a bed that had silk sheets & I was afraid to move. I hung on for dear life until I figured out that I could gently slide onto the floor and be all good.
