Duck Info

In October of 2018, Amaretto released the all new Barnyard Ducks! Sooo much cuteness, with little quackers running everywhere. Many breeders created ponds on their land because guess what? Your Amaretto ducks can swim! If you have access to Linden water, you can turn on movement and animations, set them down in it and they will swim back and forth. Sorry, it doesn’t work in prim water. They will walk under water in that case, as long as they can hold their breath.

Another good bit of info is Amaretto Ducks can use some of the Amaretto chicken products. That’s right, they can use the flu shots, poultry glow, potency seeds, and vivacity corn, and even the Beloved Bird! The food for Ducks is either Duck Diet for breeders, which also requires lettuce to make them happy, or duck Pet Pellets for non breeders.

Ducks also use the same incubator as chickens. It’s the 3.0/1.1 version available free at the bird food stores. And thanks to the last bird update, it no longer takes an hour to hatch the nests, only a few minutes.

Ducks are also like the chickens in that one food lasts one bird 4 weeks, 2 birds 2 weeks and so on. Their hardiness should also be at or near 100%. You can breed one drake to one hen, then they both go into recovery.

The Barnyard Bird G.P.S. (Global Peck’n Sort) is a tool that will change the settings on all your Barnyard Birds on one sim all at one time!!

  1. Click the G.P.S. Updater.
  2. Pick your Settings one at a time.
    • Movement
    • Animations
    • Text
    • Sounds
    • Range
    • Home
  3. Hit Activate
  4. After hitting activate your Barnyard Birds on the sim will all change to the same settings as you chose on the G.P.S.

Here is the duck wiki so you can check out all the great breeds and traits on these funny Amaretto birds

2012 Amaretto OOAK Moonlight Carousel

Amaretto donated this One-of-A-Kind K-9 to the The Second Annual Breedable OOAK Collectors Auction!

The Moonlight Carousel K-9 went home with Callie Cline who bid the highest at 65,000 Linden! Congrats and a big TY to Callie!

All proceeds from this auction were donated to Relay For Life, which couldn’t be a better cause! The total from all the breedables in the auction was 3,885,000 linden!!!

Also a big THANK YOU to all of our community members who listened, attended, and bid! I can’t think of a greater cause than Relay For Life!

The Coat on this K-9 DOES have the ability to pass.

The Eye on this K-9 DOES have the ability to pass.

The Collar on this K-9 DOES have the ability to pass.

This was a piece of Amaretto History that I just wanted to share with all you New breeders out there because it shows a sample of the connection of care between the community and Amaretto and how it can impact on some ones life to make the world a better place

Happy Breeding!!

Hello my Name is?


Hello everyone! Happy Monday to everyone! I wanted to talk a little bit about naming your drops!

There is a limit on characters in each of Amaretto’s breedables, but you CAN work with that and still have the info you need when renaming. When renaming horse bundles you may get this message-Your name is longer than 36 characters or contains faulty characters. Try again and use abbreviations whenever possible and remember some characters aren’t allowed

The limits on characters when naming are
36 for horses
30 for K9s
36 for ponie pals
36 for barnyard birds

Some symbols not allowed when naming are ( ) and *. Ponie Pals also do not allow the slash symbols.

Remember when naming to try using a system that is easy for you to remember. It will be a great help when searching your hoard…er…inventory for items you need for a special project, and it can help if you need to file a ticket and don’t have the UUID. Not to mention it can be fun to come up with inventive names. OK, I mentioned it anyway.

Well this is Ava over and out! Happy Naming!

Blanket Weather is Coming!!

It’s starting to get cold outside so let’s warm up a little and look at Horse Blankets. 🙂

On April 27, 2019, Amaretto released update 6.01 for horses. Hidden in these new starters were the very first blankets! This had been something that the community had been asking for, for a long, long time, so there was a lot of excitement in the community when these came out.

The first four blankets released in these starters were:

It was not long before the next blanket was released. Hiding in the 2019 Holiday Editions, was the Christmas Plaid Blanket. This is the perfect blanket for your Christmas designer horses.

The next year, there was a 24 hour drop on Valentine’s Day for the next blanket. This one was the Happy Valentine’s Day 2020. This is an amazing blanket for all your Heart, red and white or Love Designers.

Then on May 5, 2020 Amaretto released the El Dorado Edition, this blanket was the perfect match for the Bionic Walkers which were only released a short time before these Limited Editions were released.

The newest blankets to come out came out on Nov.18,2020 Amaretto released the 2020 Camelot Editions, they were the: Camelot and Royalty Blankets.

So as you can see there is a large variety of blankets out there for your projects.

So keep warm and breed some fun blankets into your heard this fall!

Albino Ponie Eyes!

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!! I hope your weekend is off to an amazing start.

Today the spotlight is shining on the awesome Albino eyes for our Ponie Pals!

Amaretto Albinos have become somewhat famous in the Amaretto Community. To have such a prized horse born is very exciting. Plus they come with a very special eye that will be sought after by many.

The Albinos come randomly from full siblings. Full siblings are siblings that come from the exact same mother and father. Siblings do not have to have the same traits they only need to be full sibling.

Albinos come with very special Albino Eyes that can be passed on to their offspring.

The ability to get an Albino Ponie was released with the 2.0 update on On May 25, 2020. Albino Eyes DO have the ability to pass!

So let’s get started breeding our Ponie Pal sibs to get a Ponie Albino and one of these awesome eyes!

Till next time this is Snookie hoping you have a great weekend and an amazing week ahead!

HAPPY BREEDING!!


Do It With Styles

Today we get to learn about the Amaretto Painted Ponies! Sooo many cute little styles in these, starting with the Painted Prism. Amaretto celebrated Summer with the release of the Deluxe Edition 2017 Summer Edition – da-dum da-dum da-dum Ponies! Hidden inside those shark ponies was the Painted Prism style, which does have the ability to pass.

Next came the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Dog which only comes around every 12 years! To celebrate that occasion, you could purchase the 2018 Chinese New Year Edition – Year of the Dog Deluxe Edition. Hiding inside the 2018 Chinese New Year Edition – Year of the Dog was the Painted Gold! This style DOES have the ability to pass.

Amaretto celebrated Astronomy Day with the release of 2018 Astronomy Day Edition Animals!! From from Apr.17,2018 to May 1, 2018! You could pick up your 2018 Astronomy Day Edition Animals at any Amaretto location! Hiding inside the 2018 Astronomy Day Edition Animals was the Painted Orchid! This style can pass and is a great color for all our purple fans.

We had to wait all the way to July for the next Painted Ponie. From July 6th, 2018 until July 20th, 2018 you could buy the 2018 Friday the 13th Edition – Spirit Board. These Deluxe Editions were hiding the Painted Ebony! This style does pass also.

At Christmastime we got the 2018 Christmas Deluxe Edition ponies, available from Dec 17th, 2018 until Dec 31st, 2018. As a twist, to get what they were hiding inside, you had to breed them together. What they were hiding was the Painted Ivory, which can pass!

On March 17, 2020 Amaretto released 2020 Twilight Editions! These editions were available from March 17, 2020 until March 31, 2020 at all Amaretto locations. The hidden surprise in the 2020 Twilight Editions was the Painted Twilight Style! The Painted Twilight Style DOES have the ability to pass! I just love those little twinkly lights in the coat, don’t you?

Finally in 2020 with the 2.0 update came THIS set of Painted Styles. The Painted Style is a set of many exciting possible Non-Starter styles that can come from breeding “Starter Ponies”. You can have a chance at one of these exciting Non-Starter styles by breeding any Ponie with a starter Ponie or by breeding together two starter Ponies. The Painted Style CAN be passed on.

Linden Labs Grid Status!

Hey guys! Whats up? Are you having a good Monday? I hope you are! Well i was trying to come up with something you guys might actually not already know all about! I was thinking about all the maintenance that has been going on lately and some important things to remember! This may be true with not only Amaretto products but any no copy objects you may have.

If you are experiencing issues with Second Life, you can check to see if there is a known problem with the Second Life grid. Go to http://status.secondlifegrid.net/ for the latest updates on outages and other known problems. This page also shows the calendar of planned server rolling restarts.

Occasionally during LL Maintenance sessions their servers cause things to happen to the Horses/K-9’s/Barnyard Birds that shouldn’t. Anything that does happen can be fixed but in order to minimize the chances of something happening here are some helpful tips to pass along:

Do not pick up or attempt to rez out Horses/K-9’s/Barnyard Birds/Ponies/Ducks or Bundles/Kennels/Nests/Baskets or any other products such as food or consumables as sometimes the asset server gets a hiccup and decides to eat them. If you must pickup or rez a orses/K-9’s/Barnyard Birds/Ponies/Ducks or Bundles/Kennels/Nests/Baskets please copy down its FULL API from the description field before doing anything, to make recovering the orses/K-9’s/Barnyard Birds/Ponies/Ducks or Bundles/Kennels/Nests/Baskets Possible

Do not attempt to send a Horse/K-9/Barnyard Bird/Bundle/Kennel/Nest to Horse Haven/Puppy Paradise/Bird Sanctuary as the maintenance can prevent that communication from going through.

Do not attempt to birth Bundles/Kennels/Nests as the maintenance can cause the Bundle/Kennel/Nest to not birth correctly.

Do not move Bundles/Kennels/Nests/Baskets from under the mother until the hover text says it is ready!

If one duplicates don’t rez out 10 more expecting a different result! If you rez any Amaretto animal and it starts duplicating stop rezzing! Dont make a bigger mess than you have to!

In most cases Amaretto can recover lost or missing breedables but you MUST have some information such as UUID or name.
If you need assistance just file a ticket!
Happy breeding everyone this is Ava over and out!
