My ducklings are 6 weeks old and I released them to the pond yesterday. They followed the boys around but the boys would have none of that! Just wait until they realize they are girls! They survived their first thunderstorm and when I got up they were on the northside of the pond preening.
While I introduce you to my niece!
in that first photo she looks just like her daddy and big cousin Chelsea. (who is 20 ys older)
btw her mommy made that dress for her the other day and by hand no less!
A friend of my moms, who is in the Natl. Guard, called her and told her that Gov. Perry has ordered them to come to the Texas Coast towns. Now this is not for Aron, but for Dean. Dean is supposed to hit us Monday with widespread flooding. So if you are in a flood zone please prepare...
Ok so today Rocky didn't attack me. I went out with a fly swatter. Chelsea and I stayed in the yard watching them. The girls are really venturing out in the yard. They have this one place that they like to go. I wil have to investigate. Well we had these huge flock of birds flying around...
I get the girls out about 8 am. I make sure they have fresh water and some scratch. I let them free range all day long. They have made a path through the grass. . But when I call them in (around 6pm) they act like they are starving! I feed them a mixture of grower started and scratch. They...
I was putting the chickens up for the night. I seperate my roosters from my hens so my hens can eat in peace and rest. I found Rocky & Rowdy in the hen coop. I heard this awful racket and Im like what the hell??? I looked and Rowdy was doing his thang. I do want baby chicks so I guess it is ok.
Now ya'll know Rocky is my favorite. We finally found out he is a Roo. He is about 4 months old. He attacked me this morning!!! I chased him back. Then ....when my back was turned.......I stepped into the yellow shed and he chased me!!!! I threw a plastic dish at him. He attacked my...
He kept jumping the fence. We got new nieghbors and he wanted to help them move in, lick their faces and generally get to know them.....Well he is big. He is a German/Australian shepard. To keep him from jumping the fence we chained him up. OOO I hated it. We did this for two weeks letting...
Bunky has severe diarrehea and he can just be sitting still and leaks. It is so gross! He is about 2-3 months old. We give him hard food and no people food.
They are about 6 weeks old now. When I can I leave them out permanently? I have a huge pond.
Funny story............We placed them in a cage outside in the shade and when I looked outside the male ducks were sitting next to the cage. I guess they were trying to see who would get first pick.
Our biggest chicken (still unsure the gender) Rocky caught a live frog. Rocky was running all around the chicken yard with that huge frog hanging out of it's mouth. Dan was laughing because all 23 other chickens were chasing Rocky trying to get that frog!
First off God is doing a wonderful miracle in my family's life so when that is done I will share the wonderful news! Second....my chickens don't love me! They only come to me when I have food. Since we have had all the rain it has been too nasty to go out there. I will prolly get to bond...
Ok I had this one last chicken who was in quarantine and I put her over the fence to be with the other ladies. Foggy ran up to her....stamping his feet and flapping his wings! I have never seen him do that before. Then the other day Rocky was standing still....I looked closer and there was...
because she almost took a chicks head off. One of my pretty little Anconas was sticking her head out of the fence trying not to go back into the coop. It took me and Chelsea about 15 minutes to convince them to come outside. They stayed outside for about 5 hours. I kept an eye on them. They...
I am inheriting my late Grandma's cat. She is over at my mom's house until Friday. I was the first to volunteer and that is why I got her. Grandma loved Mitzi like one of her kids. That was the most important thing to her. Everyone got the sniffles when my brother loaded her into her...
I got two baby ducks right? Well they live in my den in a pet carrier and I have this lamp that keeps them warm right in front. I found three hens that have the same thing Foggy has so Chelsea and I had to bring them in because the Roo's were too mean to keep them in my chicken hospital (extra...
