YO GEORGIANS! :)

Flower, GAM wants to know if you still want that little doeling. She took most of the babies to auction yesterday.

Probably not. We decided to keep the boy and girl we paid for. Then sell him after we get the girl pregnant. If she has a girl, we will keep it. That way we will have our two girls. Sorry I didn't write sooner. I actually thought she was going to send me other pics since you mentioned having several available.

Was it easy to sell the goats?
 
So, I took the 6 week old Runner ducks to the lake in a box yesterday. Up until then, they would not follow the older ones to the lake. They were squawking and having a duck! (Pun intended!) Anyway, I literally had to guard the shore to keep them from running straight home. Boy, that may have been a mistake! Those ducks will not get out of the lake! Last night I had to go and walk them home. This morning when we opened the coop door, they tore down the road straight to the lake. I'm afraid they are getting water logged!!! LOL! I hope they will come home on their own tonight like the older runner ducks do! I also put the 1 week olds outside with their own pan of water and they were hopping in and out all day!

Tabasco, the little Khaki Campbell duck I got from you, Maggie, is the one following the boys. She loves it here!
 
Okay, silly chicken-question time! Does anyone here make chicken diapers, not baby diapers with little chickens on them, but actual diapers for chickens? The reason I ask in that we have one BO pullet that Lisa wants to keep in the house for awhile and not in a pen. :rolleyes: The pullet came from the brood that was attacked by the black rat snake last month. We lost another buff from that same brood this morning. We've never had losses from a brooder like this before, so we're convinced the snake bites infected the chicks that it bit.

In my research, I've seen chicken diapers on Etsy and Amazon, but I'm a bit leery based upon all the negative reviews. Push come to shove, I suppose I could find a pattern and make something out of red shop rags and elastic, but if someone has experience with these things or knows how to make them, that would be fantastic. Please let me know. Thx.
 
ok, I set the eggs that I got at the BBQ, the duck eggs were in before now, so I have 50 eggs in a 24 egg brinsea incubator, lol, don't ask how I did it. The runner duck eggs only 2 showed growth, that I got from flower, which I'm ok with since I will have to make a pond.

I have ribs,brisket, and a pork loin in the smoker!!!!! going low and slow, yummmmm, we will see if it is just as good as brucifer's and papa's. sure smells good. oh will smoke some salmon tomorrow, it doesn't take that long.

Happy Memorial Day everyone
