Hey guys I'm feeling totally lost today! Really had no idea what was going on lol. Is it normal for my banty duck babies to not want their heating pad cave already? 3 and 4 weeks.

You're welcome to hang out here. And yes, 3-4 week olds will not need as much heat, depending on your location. my Calls were outside at 2 weeks and no heat at 4 weeks in April.

***EDIT - I just realized "yoopergirl"....UP... Duh, still, once they have some real feathers, they should be fine. @Littlelakephil agree?



Good morning pondies, I am hardly ever up this early during a non kid week, but I had to chase ducks out of the pool and I'm so excited because I have been cleared to go back to work today!! Just 1 day a week but I'm so excited to have that Independence back. I'm a little sad because I have to leave Ava for the entire day, and have to put her with the other ling's so I pray they don't brain wash her and I come home to a scared Baby :(
Wish me luck with today..

Excellent news!

No fire, my friend, just smoke and mirrors.;)

:thumbsup

Wow okay I thought I was waiting for them to feather out lol. Not telling my hubby because he wants them outside already hehe. Its 30s, 40s at night and 50s, 60s, during day. I'll take them outside to play maybe.


Excellent news!

Morning all!

I have finally got a line on some Dutch rabbits. Took literally a year, but I've finally found a person with them. I'm not sure if they are pedigreed, and I have some other questions to ask, but I might hopefully finally have some by this weekend. I might drive up on Saturday to pick up a pair.

Wish me luck because it took me a year just to find these so if they don't look good I'm gonna be SOL.
Good luck, Pyxis. Make sure to play some "Watership Down" music for good karma ;)

@Debs Flock LOL, I don't know what I'm doing. It's all just a grand experiment. Worst case scenario is that the plants die, the fences fall down, the arches collapse and I just start all over again.

Just when I was almost done for the day, it started hailing like crazy. Still 65 degrees, but hailed two separate times and now the wind is blowing like crazy.

Bless your heart, Friday, that's the spirit. You never fail to impress. :clap

You can't be here ifin you ain't no goat herder :hugs But I feel your pain so you can stay for a while However nude self portraits are required :drool

There's K!! :frow :hugs

what just happened

:idunno

Get Phil to send some cookies over ;) He's mean with his pop tarts, though (oh, and beavers :()

:lol:

Put my 8 ducklings out with the big ducks, they've been seen but don't touch for almost a month now, anyway Big Mama adopted them (surprise surprise) so she's currently walking around with 14 ducklings following her. :th
