Wow, I'm glad I don't have any of those in my backyard.

When we had all the floods in Iowa, they did find an alligator in the flood waters in Cedar Rapids somewhere. I think it might have been an escaped "pet" because they cannot possibly survive the winters up here.

I do believe those crocs would have a meal out of my greyhound.

I have now compiled a list of breeds of chickens to look into at the fair, based on the Omelet site and some of the useful information everyone has given. What fun! I am particularly interested in the Americaunas, the ISA browns, the Faverolle, the Frizzle, the gingernut ranger, the Polish, and the speckledy, and maybe the Marans.
