Silkie Sue, we picked up one box of the little runners. Cute little things! One's got a hip issue which we couldn't see until we got 'her' home. Doesn't matter, we'll rehab as best we can. The trio is warm, well fed, bedded down in the finest fluffiest shavings we could find, named and adored by my daughter already. Even my husband didn't say no ;)

I was there and went home empty handed. The venue does have more space then at Paris and better lighting. We didn't stay long as I was being very strict with self and looking for specifics. Most young peafowl I have seen all together, so sad none were what I was looking for.

I don't know how to vent sex ducks, so it'll be a surprise later on...but they've been named Gidgit, Gimli and Gordie. Gidget's the one with the hip, but it seems more stable today, less swollen and she's better able to stand and run around. They're still happy, they love my daughter, and we're enjoying them. So far...so good :)

Glad someone got something good, I didn't stay there long, not too many chickens there but lots of pheasants, peacocks and quail. Some cute little banties there though.

Gidget is doing a little better today. Not as twisty as yesterday, able to stand more stable. We took them into the tub tonight for a quick swim and wash off (the bathroom is getting renovated, we've never used the tub anyhow). They loved it and are still doing great. While swimming they had a lifeguard too ;)
