Same here. My job is outdoors. Don't like this time of year.

 

[gabantam]

Welcome!! How's it going in Houston County?

Same old thing. Hot weather and plenty of outdoor projects.

Welcome to new folks and here heck is raised most days but otherwise, ducks, geese, dogs, horses, lots of chickens and assorted kids. Its a nice thread with great folks. Im not in Georgia but its my mommas birthplace so next to Florida its where I feel most at home but yet to find any folks from her neck of Georgia. Im raising chickens on a balcony and rooftop a half a world away. Check out Front Porch Swing under Beekissed as well, lots of nice folks here on BYC.

Thanks for the welcome. What does everybody here raise ?

Uh oh... *can of worms*

Okay, I raise.... EE's, Buff Orpingtons, Polish, Silkies, Sumatras, Phoenix, Wyandottes, Marans, Cochins (LF and Bantam), and Frizzles. Although many of these I've lost this year because of predators or an unknown illness that the Georgia Poultry Lab is investigating for me.

But I also raise, and currently have: 3 sebastopol geese, 5 pekin ducks, 2 crested swedish ducks, 2 royal palm turkey poults (amazingly, a pair), and 8 narragansett turkey eggs in the incubator (no babies or adults yet), plus a Hahn's Macaw parrot, two dogs, three cats, six adult box turtles, two babies, two eggs in the incubator, a mud turtle, a florida cooter turtle, three garter snakes, various american toads, fowler's toads, oak toads, and southern toads (as the kids catch them and try to sneak them into the terrarium), one angelfish, five betta fish (three are babies), one clown loach, one clown pleco, and a bazillion mealworms and crickets being raised for food.

Um. I think that's it. Maybe.

 

[GOLDENSEABRIGHT]

I raise EE, leghorns, rhode island reds, red jungle fowl, bb red bantams, mille fleur D'uccles, two cochins, white old English game bantams,

Got a picture of our favorite duck from our first hatch earlier this year. The pic doesn't do his coloration justice. He may be a mix but if we could duplicate it we could sell em by the truckload. I present to you, "Darkwing"

I have two like that (TSC) and was wondering how you know that is a boy?

 

[farmerChef]

Coloring. Males will also have drake feathers, the curl on top of the tail. And the hens quack, males don't.
This applies to most (mallard type) ducks, but not for muscovies.

GAM. GAM is lucky to have Robo. And I shall now excuse myself to scrub something with some sort of caustic substance.

Good luck trying to get that icky feeling off ... it's permanent. gratuitous Brahma picture ...

Let it be known I hate you both equally. And that is MY Brahma. Just so we are clear, woman.
