This is Howard our duck, he is out for a stroll on our little farm. He and his ducky friends, P*e Wee and Little Girl, are hunting the big pasture for yummy bugs to eat as the sun sets behind them for the day. We raised Howard, P*e Wee, and Little Girl up since they were the tiniest cutest little ye...

These 2 ducks are laying on eggs. They are being good duck Momma's. The 1st duck decided to put her nest in a corner of the chicken coop. In fact one chicken went broody but kept getting on the wrong nest so I took her eggs and moved them under momma duck. She accepted the eggs as her own. 1 duck egg and 6 chicken eggs. It will be interesting to see what happens if they even hatch. She did move them around the coop and it looks like one may have broken since she has egg yolk on her face.
The second duck decided to make her nest next to the fence at the end of the pasture. She is sitting on 5 duck eggs.

Week 3 for meat chickens. They are gaining weight rapidly and have started to get their feathers. Our young flock of egg layers are fully acquainted to our older existing flock and are sleeping in the coop with them at night.

Our new flock of egg layers are ready to explore the great outdoors....almost.
They're still very small and need to be protected from our existing flock. So they will spend some time in this area so everyone can meet and greet without any fighting.
Most of them are hens. I did get a mix of 10 Ameraucanas so there could be some roosters in there too.
20 Ameraucanas (10 pullets / 10 straight run)
6 Cinnamon Queens
6 Leghorns
5 Black S*x Links should have been 6 but TSC had a mix up some where and I was given 1 Barred Rock in with the group.

Week 2 on our meat birds. They've grown but are still relatively small yet so they will stay in the brooder for a little while longer.

Who will get shoved off the side of the tower?

Busy busy over here, I've canned mulberry and strawberry jam plus mushrooms in the last week. Dehydrated catnip and strawberries. The mulberries and catnip were grown on our land. The strawberries and mushrooms I bought on sale.

I'm sad to say that we lost our Buster Brown yesterday. He was good rabbit and he lived a long and happy life here, now it's just Jules here. I don't think we'll get more rabbits, though, Buster as well as Jules were/are just animals we rescued that needed a home.
