Very busy day, plus a little trivia!

Big thanks to Laura for coming to pick up the free silky roosters we were giving away.  She took them all!!  We are happy to see that we could assist in the process of her being able to start her own silky line!


Today has been a super busy day at the farm and lots of volunteer inquiries.  I can't wait to meet our new volunteers on Saturday!


A little trivia for you. Check out this picture of one of our guests, Tater Tot...... 
Question:  What do you think happened to this peacock? (answer follows)

Tater was so curious about me with camera that I couldn't get a picture of him from inside of his enclosure without his beak against the lens. 

Answer: There is a particular gene that causes this deformity at birth.  Tater Tot has no idea that he's any different than the rest and eats with no problem.  Due to the genetic defect he will not be allowed to breed and is kept strictly as a pet.  Although we have never had this problem thus far in our breeding program, we would not continue to breed any parents that produce this defect.
