Looks xf to me too. A little shiny though.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I agree, too shiny. I am trying to save for a good camera - going to take some coins to my local Camera store and let them help me out on buying a decent camera that can take good pics - the only prob is it's gonna cost me over 400$! I guess I gotta take the bite!!

Cool, but I ain't got time tonight - that's why I asked tonight! Taking care of my ducks and just wanted to come back for some responses!!

As you can see - I used to box and ride Motocross - poor Bob is 9 pounds but I can easily grab him up - LOL!!

This is my BOB - huge Pekin

Cool - Ive had runners for the past 10 years. Bob was a Pekin rescue duck that I went to my Mom's neighbor and told them I'm taking their duck because they weren't taking care of them - Like I said, I used to box and I pretty much made him scared - LOL! My mom, who is 87, keeps telling me to stop intimidating people, I just had to laugh!!

Here's my runner ducks - I got 14 of them:

They are now that I got used to them - I used to have 5 runners and told my wife to "get the eggs out of the coop" and she says-"no need to worry, Runner ducks are NOT broody! So guess what- out comes 8 little babies with their mother!! TA DA!
Cute as heck!

Mark, I am glad that you rescued Bob. That was a funny thing that your mom said to stop intimidating people. That's also awesome that one of your ducks hatched 8 ducks.

You actually think I'm gonna go by what my Mom says? (although I actually should! But even my wife tells me I screw with people too much - I have no Idea what she means as she takes me shopping with her all the time because she feels safe - LOL!) and now I got to feed and take care of them hatchlings for at least the next 10 years! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Of course you won't go by what your mom said lol who would anyway! That's right, now you have to take care of the baby ducks for a least ten years. What are you going to do if the same duck has more baby ducks?

I make sure now that I get the eggs out of the coop every day now, or at least every other day. Duck eggs take about 28 days to hatch so I don't have to worry about that anymore.
