It was not really amusing and certainly not clever - it was just audacity that got me.

Good morning, everyone

I'm home! That was a fun time. All told I came home with the Call pair and the Brahma pair. Almost a sebastopol goose but we didn't have a big enough crate/box for her

The brahmas seem okay now. They guzzled water once I got them settled into quarantine and the cockerel stopped coughing. However, I forgot to get pictures of them, lol.

Here's my little Call pair settled into their quarantine area:

There were so many birds there. Seeing the show birds makes you realize how hatchery birds don't even begin to hold a candle to these guys. Honestly it's sad what hatcheries have done to some of the breeds.

My Dad was in love with this African goose:

The picture doesn't begin to do justice to the size of this guy. That pen is three feet tall.

There were also dewlap Toulouse:

Tons of sebastopols, too, nearly a whole row of them. Not one Tufted Roman - guess I better bring some next year!

There were so many bantams, including ko shamo which I am now in love with and plan to add next year. And lots of stunning LF too. This Jersey Giant was huge:

This faverolles took best of continental:

This langshan was best of Asiatic:

This silver phoenix was stunning:

There were even LF Sultans, which you really don't ever see, including a black one:

There were also tons of Calls. I almost bought a pencilled pair too but decided not to - their bills were overly long.

Wow, some great looking birds. Congrats on your new additions.

I'm still doing tractor tires rims were a lot worse than I thought Been hours brushing the rust and now to paint .Would buy new but rims are more than tires. Now there are tractor tires and rims on the side adds . I got to search something else , like polar bears or something Doings a waiting .So I be back after dark maybe .

K!!!

Having a bad evening.....I'll talk to y'all later if I can.

but what if it gets hungry??


One if the ducklings drowned.

no idea why! Almost 3 weeks old now, great big, running all over now .....bodies are now longer than 8 inches... big ducklings .. shallow little water pan/pond (maybe 2 feet in diameter ?) And it had a good big rock in it, specifically so ducklings can climb out if they fall in.

I just don't know what happened.

At least it wasn't the singleton, and it wasn't a snazzy color. still sad though.

Aw, sorry for your loss, Al.

Yea me too I jess wish it was free when I do

It was indeed, thanks. I put it down to the weather, or maybe it's cos DW is away

Remember when such harmless banter got us in trouble ?

Or maybe the combination of the weather & lack of DW is working for ya.

How could I forget? and on top of it all, getting down on bended knees and apologising for something that we didn't do, didn't even cut the mustard

I'm fond of combos

O' course, my good man. I like pork and apple sauce, pork pies and pickled onions, bread and butter...
