    Can you say ducklings?

    I've had such bad luck hatching this year but finally - my patience has been rewarded! They all look like call ducks, but I put several mandarin eggs in that nest.

    PICS!!!! Wood Ducks, Mandarins, Saxonies, and Calls - OH MY!

    I haven't been on in a while but I was out in the aviary the other day snapping pics and thought I'd share. I am so excited about this year's upcoming ducklings as well. Enjoy!

    Family Farming in Trouble Again

    This just makes me sad... MILLIKEN — When the first trucks rolled onto the Bernhardt farm in June, none of the Bernhardt boys wanted to be around. Tim, 53, made sure he was in Seattle with friends. Brother Dave, at 60 the oldest, took to the basement. But before Dave retreated for the day...

    Mandarins and Woodies (new pics)

    I just got 3 new woodies to replace the one male I lost this spring (to the dogs) and thought I'd grab some pictures. They are much less tame than my mandarins so the pics aren't that great, plus they are not fully feathered yet. But the mandies are and they look fabulous! Not only that, they...

    Are You a Prepper? UPDATE - CostCo is a Prepper! LOL

    Wow - it seems that they have terms for just about everything now and prepper is one that I just heard for the first time on Wednesday. Apparently a prepper is someone who prepares for TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) by hording guns, ammo, food, patassium iodine, water...

    Those mandarins...

    Everytime I make a change to the aviary (i.e. sell ducks!) they look at me like I am about to cook them for dinner. They stop eating for days and they avoid me like the plague all the while looking at each other like "What happened to those other guys?" Interestingly enough, they LOVE to have...

    Waters of the U.S. - Please Read Serious Stuff

    Ok, I know I was joking and making fun of the situation a few weeks ago when I said that it was illegal in Colorado to have rain barrels and that no one owns their water rights - but seriously - they are about to do a major power grab for the water you guys. Whatever your opinion on this -...

    FINALLY - hatched some calls! (PICS)

    It has been a sloooooow year for the call hatching - only one form the first hatch - zero second hatch - and two this last hatch. But mama did her job and hatched out 5! Of course those 5 are mixed - I don't even know where the black ones came from! I have all white and one snowy drake that...

    My dewlap just hatched out 6 babies! (Pics Added!)

    I was sure those eggs she was sitting on were a lost cause because she never developed ANY mating behavior at all, but guess what! 6 out of 9 eggs hatched. One died while hatching, two never hatched, though they feel light so they must have been fertile, and 6 healthy goslings are...

    Two Broody Geese and One Nest!

    These girls thought sharing the same nest for laying meant sharing the same nest for sitting. You should have seen how confused they looked once the urge to go broody came! They are not mean geese - so the half hearted attempts to chase the other away just wasn't good enough! Poor things...
