Very cool looking. <BR/>I've not had one like that yet, though I've had other wonky eggs. lol!<BR/><BR/>Smart chickens for knowing not to walk on the ice. I bet it was fun to watch the ducks. Isn't it amazing how entertaining farm critters can be?

They are never boring.<BR/><BR/>Kim, So sorry to hear about your loss. Yes, more ducks are in order for the spring! I've heard bubblers are good at keeping a pond from freezing but the size of our pond is very prohibitive to bubblers.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534106679136054532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094100868459032429.post-64674199330222243522008-11-24T21:15:00.000-05:002008-11-24T21:15:00.000-05:00Our pond has officially froze over and sadly we ha...Our pond has officially froze over and sadly we have lost both ducks to a predator.

Your sugar bowl was made by TST and they used the same decal as Break O" Day but your sugar bowl was made for Harmony House and given a different glaze color and pattern name. I contacted a friend who wrote a book on TST dinnerware and he corrected me on this.<BR/><BR/>Your sugar bowl pattern is called Honey Hen, made for Harmony House, and sold at Sears.

There was also one in a nest box that seemed to have no shell at all. I was surprised that none of the hens ate it. <BR/><BR/>That sugar bowl is really cute. I'll see if I can find any like it. Does it have any markings on the bottom?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.com
