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

[Pork Pie]

So sorry you had to get rid of him. (sorry for your hens, that is...)

It's fine - did the same with the other one. Don't worry, they'll be fine - they always got me

I dried your lily pad this morning.

Thanks. The elephants sure messed up the lily pads in that other place. There was also a water moccasin copulating with my lily pad - they called it a python, but I know better. Phil has a baby beaver over there.

 

[Pork Pie]

Phil has a baby beaver over there.

Is that legal?

I wonder if it there's any fur yet

 

[sourland]

It's probably not legal without a permit -

They can't even keep a simple "information" thread from becoming a chit-chat line.

X2!
Darnit, guess I have to go see what you did.
That's exactly my plan. But not till this one temporarily freezes over.

Umm.... That happens here.... Even on the auction threads....:/

He's very handsome! Thanks!
Lol not quite that green but yes
seasonal?

precisely!
It's shedding season
yes you will
I do too, even if they aren't SQ they are very beautiful birds

Most of my life they just said I had asthma.... Not specific. It was only this year they did an Allergy test that showed I had allergies. So I'll just got this doesn't get too bad... Out last too long.... In the meantime I'll up my Prednisone .

Bit of a downer. The cleaner turned off my bator yesterday. I noticed 16 hours later   And being without a cock P ) there's no replacing 'em so I hope it didn't knacker them all 

I bet they are okay..... My best duck hatch was the one that was shut off for maybe a whole day.... At least as long as yours. Although I didn't keep a journal so I can't remember what day they were on when it happened.

How cold did it get?

Heck it's always 80 where he lives.... So they didn't freeze....

Hi pond peeps, I don't know if any of y'all have missed me but I have sure missed you all. Been really depressed these past few days and decided today to uninvite myself to the pity party I have been having. Just was really ready to be done with everything and had a small set back. I'm slowly getting back to me. I hope everyone is well!! I lost my little silver baby to a predator last night, somehow it managed to put it's paw into the grow out pin and grab her. I am still unsure what exactly got her. Probably a raccoon.. idk Also had a new hatchlings this morning so that was good news

Missed you, dear! Come out and play. If the nonsense here does not take your mind away from your troubles, nothing will!

OMG, I just saw this on TEG!

That is definitely an improvement in perspective.

Well today has gone downhill. First, I took everything I needed over to start framing the coop - except the measuring tape, of course. Dead in the water without that. Oh well, I'll unload the wood and get started Tuesday and just spend some time with the poultry today taking pictures, no biggie. I then headed across the yard to realize that I accidentally wore sneakers instead of my boots and water immediately flooded my shoes and soaked my feet. Fine then, I'll just fix the loose wire on the coops and head out for the day. Get that fixed and then realize I am two geese short. Willow, who can fly and is half Canada goose and sometimes takes excursions, is missing. That's pretty normal. However, Lacie, who cannot fly and is never gone, is missing too. That goose is my favorite bird. I raised her from a baby and she imprinted on me and followed me everywhere. She chews on my hair and climbs in my lap and lets me pet her chest. She has been to schools to teach children and has even been into Petco. I love that bird. I have no clue where she is. I looked all over and saw no sign of either of them. No feathers to indicate an attack and no other missing birds. They are just gone. I am hoping they show back up. They were both there last night.

oh no! I hope Willow and Lacie come home and that no one took them.

And..... OFF TO THE RACES!!!!

Yay, Phil! Happy hatching!

The silvers are super sweet, second only to the Snowys, but not as assertive... very curious and quieter... Hatched poults too... @WalnutHill

Nice!! Woohoo!!! Oh, wanted to show you this guy...

Yoy on poults! Pretty colors but i like traditional AC better. Soup is in my breeding pen now as all eggs from the black roo have been clear.

Bit of a downer. The cleaner turned off my bator yesterday. I noticed 16 hours later And being without a cock P ) there's no replacing 'em so I hope it didn't knacker them all

Should be fine!

I really like our present Home Page. Hope something like that exists when we are converted.

 

[DwayneNLiz]

He left a few on top of the bator, not a whole tray. But yes, he still got a 100% of those eggs.

Oh geez, whatever

So sorry you had to get rid of him. (sorry for your hens, that is...)

nifty says we should barely notice a change, not sure if I believe him
