I thought this one was a pullet but the new feathers coming in are throwing me off. Best guess is about six months.

FINALLY both the grandkids are sleeping! It's rained most of the day and DH works 12 hr nights and was sleeping today so they had to play quiet all day. Too much energy still hanging on to those two when bed time rolled around.
I need to get some sleep myself but this calm, quiet,still time is Devine! My chicks are chirping and happy in the brooder next to my chair....So peaceful, why waste it on sleep?

I may take you up on some ducklings or eggs next spring. Got to let him get used to the geese first. Lmao

My girls are h*** bent on propagating all of TN, ducklings will be a cinch, lol...

Works for me. I am trying to talk him into a small pond. Just haven't found the right spot yet...But I'll have one, you mark my words. Even if I have to drop an old bathtub in a hole and fill it up.hehehehehe
