Aunt Ms. Chicken says she can't believe how much the babies have grown in such a short time. Don't know how I missed the update on the 30th since I watch for...
They have a duck that looks like a Indian Runner with a poof on the head. I forget the name but it is a Mallard derivative and that makes the ducks crossed and...

Georgie has those "emotional feathers" too. It's so funny to watch them pop straight up and then back down. Then back up again. Depending on the noises in the...
My drake Bo has an emotion crest to. He really gets going around strangers. I was just wondering if when she told me crested she meant like the ducks with the...
Good distinction. Georgie doesn't have a "true" crest, just some sticky-up feathers when she is on alert. She doesn't really have a crest. I think the ducks ...
