Hi beautiful young ladies

 

[CrazyCochin]

Thanks for stopping by. You were part of that achievement yourself!

Thank you Bob!


By the way, I caught my first salmon this evening, too small to keep. (Live in WA for 8 years and never caught one.) But then, I had a giant on my line, sadly, he snapped the line.

Wanted to share these pics at our camp from 4th of July weekend…View attachment 3187402View attachment 3187403View attachment 3187400

Did you see any Gators? Looks like gator heaven, but beautiful nonetheless!

I haven’t watched the whole thing but a snippet of it was on FB, go from 26.19.

Have watched, the hen had an impacted crop which the vet did surgery on. I would have liked to see the surgery but they didn’t show. There was a mass of long grass in her crop apparently. Then they put a crop bra on her

That was very interesting thanks for sharing!

Those ducks are very pretty!

Thank you! They are Welsh Harlequins

They should start laying soon (i.e. in about a month). They are somewhere around 20 weeks old, and ducks generally start to lay around 6 mos. Someone gave them to me because it turns out that her mother is allergic to ducks!

Some of you may remember that we had to rehome Maryanne last year since her other two companions died. We're told that she is the lead hen there now. I don't don't how she managed to do that in such a short amount of time, but I'm sure happy she's not at the bottom of the order get pecked to death.

Just got this picture of her with her mates. She is the rightmost one.

That is wonderful news! I'm so glad she settled in and was able to become 'queen' of her new tribe. So good for her to have a chicken family again, too!

Wow! So cool! My Dad used to salmon fish the Genesee river in NY. It's a real accomplishment to land one at all. Great job!

How about some chest rubs ladies?

For those who wondered. I put Gucci into the coop. Lady Featherington flew to the porch and then strolled in. Glynda went up the ramp.

Awww, loved how Glynda leaned in when you were rubbing Lady Featherington's chest. Like, 'hey, don't I get some too??' Those two are definitely smitten on you!

But the ducks are probably fake too!

Wow lucky for you!

Too bad for her tho….

I hear ducks can lay two eggs a day is that true?
