    Gold Duckwing vs Golden Duckwing

    Could this be what my Henrietta is? She looks somewhere between Old English Game Bantam but has duck wing qualities but not silver, more gold.

    I could not survive without our AC or a swamp cooler at least. This summer has been tough, seems my body is tolerating the heat less and less.

    My Barred Rock is laying white eggs...

    One of mine did too! So pretty! She also has light colored ears and I've heard there's a correlation between ears and egg color sometimes. I half expected her to have lighter eggs. She is also smaller than Mt other barred rock. I'm wondering if she's mixed with something else. Came here for...

    Us too! Got us this time! Took out one of our trees. It fell on the duck run, which bent but held up. I brought all the birds inside last night just in case anyway. Didn't want to chance it.

    Yes he is, thank the Lord! Thank you for your concern. I'm also very happy that someone in our neighborhood is going to take Ginger in the morning. Not only does he beat the knife, but he gets a new flock of ladies! I couldn't be happier because it's really been bothering us all.

    No rest for the wicked they say! My favorite Roo has turned into a real pr!ck! Overly aggressive with the ladies, rearing up at little people. When we ended up with two roos in our small flock I knew one day I may have to choose. The hens picked my favorite one too. They are horribly upset he's...
