    Wintering ducks in Alaska

    We do have harsh winters up here and I have to agree with you on the wind.... I like the Salcha area. Hardly any wind. But when its summer time it makes up for the long winters. :)

    Dawn Ducks.

    My hen is a 'night layer' I went out at 3 am and the egg was cold to the touch but not frozen. I think she is starting to lay past 10:00 pm but before midnight.

    Wintering ducks in Alaska

    I was born in southeast Alaska, south of Juneau. Charitypearl, I am going to be looking for some more female ducks, or eggs this spring. Maybe even sooner if I can get some fertile ancona eggs to hatch out. Maybe we can combine forces in our quest?? I'm outside of Fairbanks about 40 to 50 miles.

    Magpie or ancona?

    trying to regulate temp

    Im still experimenting with it in the hallway. My house is a small log cabin and storage space is limited. The closets are full and had to get another cabinet just to hide appliances. Not really a drafty house but with the two heat sources in the living room and the closets at the far end of the...
