DUCK WEATHER
It rained all day yesterday. Real wet soaking rain. So the ducks and I practiced all day going in and out of their new home.
THE DUCKS
The ducks are responding really well to their permanent quarters. Living in close proximity to the other birds and pigs has made all the difference. Not to mention me dragging my hoses through here twice a day.
DEL’S MOB
Though these images do look lush, I still do not have a lot of feed. Yesterday I began to mow the plentiful thistles though. There seem to be more than ever this year. The ducks are very hard to get a shot of. They… Continue Reading “DEL’S MOB”

EGGS GALORE
The chickens are supplying us with at least three dozen eggs a day sometimes more. One dozen a day goes to the pigs and the others are sold. Last week I sold fifteen dozen eggs. The pigs had a few less though. This week Jake… Continue Reading “EGGS GALORE”
