We live across from a park pond. Dgd found a duckling with some feathers, some fuzz trying to cross busy street. There are some ducks in pond that resemble duckling, but she's afraid they'll attack if it doesn't belong to them...help
Still staying on brother's ranch, CCCCC. Found out one thing, I don't want a ranch some day after all. Give me a bit of property with a huge backyard (half acre or a quarter will do) with avocado, lemon and apricot trees on it. While I'm at it, let it face northwest to southeast please to catch...
I'm sad to say we have to move and won't be raising chickens for a while. They all have a home to go to, so that's a relief. Its been such fun and quite enlightening to raise these ladies. Chickens aren't at all the "people" I always thought they were. I'll still hang in there with byc if its...

Can't believe it. Not a single egg. My hens are only going on two years old. At least they're earning their keep with their composting skills and their delightful personalities. If things keep going the way they are, we'll cancel cable and just watch the girls for entertainment.
I heard a lot of squawking in the backyard (hens were free-ranging) and ran out to see who was causing trouble. Decided to put them all in time out (back in pens) but couldn't find brown ee. I heard a brauk-brauk and looked up. There she was on top of coop, looking at me like "well, how'd I get...
