I think I'll get some cider and give the donuts a try this week.

They used to serve apple fritters and hot apple cider at the orchard we used to go to. <BR/><BR/>Your King Duck is actually a goose. Great animal shots. I wish I knew what the body language meant when a horse sticks out it's tongue. I've seen several pictures of that very thing this week.<BR/><BR/>Glad you had fun.

None of our apple orchards are open to pick apples this year, and our 2 apple trees aren't producing either.<BR/><BR/>We had a late May freeze and two hail storms in May and June. Our fruit trees didn't stand a chance.<BR/><BR/>I've never had apple cider donuts, but will plan on having some next Fall....<BR/><BR/>I liked that pic with the horse's tongue sticking out. hehe What did you guys try to feed him....roast beef?<BR/>(just kidding)<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Silkies are supposed to make great pets because they are gentle and small...and oh, so very soft.<BR/><BR/>The key is to raise them from chicks.<BR/>We got our two silkies when they wre 2 weeks old. They are not as friendly as our our other hand-raised chickens.<BR/><BR/>Logan will love his Silkies if he raisies them as 2 day old chicks, though.<BR/>I can't wait til you guys ae settled in GA and start living your dreams....<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991291473593760056.post-74728930873706087582008-09-25T13:22:00.000-07:002008-09-25T13:22:00.000-07:00Pam, Logan is a champion tree climber!

McMurray Hatchery is one of my favorite hatcheries because of their wide assortment, and that is where I looked up Red Pyles just to make sure I was right. <BR/><BR/>You can take a look at there Red Pyle bantam drawing here:http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/bantam_red_pyle_games.html<BR/><BR/>They are a great hatchery to work with, and though they don't have the cheapest price around, their chicks/ducklings are really good quality.<BR/><BR/>And no, I don't work for them or own stock in their company. ;-)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335907113967987846noreply@blogger.com
