One of my ducks hatched two ducklings this spring. I have 5 females, a Blue Swedish, a Khaki Campbell and three that supposed to be Blue Swedish and runner duck crosses. I have 2 drakes, Blue Swedish and Khaki Campbell. Here's what the babies are looking like now that they're nearly full grown...
My three female mixed breed ducks need a new home. They are simply too noisy for my neighborhood. They are approximately three years old. All of them were broody this summer but we didn't let any of their eggs hatch. If you have more space than I do and are interested in giving Edna, Louise and...
I need to make something (not too complicated) to take to an outdoor brunch/lunch tomorrow. I can certainly make deviled eggs but would love to branch out if anyone has a favorite recipe for an event like this. It will be the kind of thing where you sit in your camp chair balancing your plate on...
One of these three boys will come home with us in just a few weeks. We've been able to visit three times now. It's so cool to watch them grow and see their personalities emerge. We're busy puppy proofing the house and yard and collecting puppy needs. They're 5 weeks old today so puppy has a few...
Two mornings in a row we have found a duck egg in one of the nest boxes in our coop. I have seen our khaki campbell duck standing on top of the feed can so I know she can get up high enough. She had been laying in a corner of the coop on the floor so this is a new thing. Is this unusual?
Just had to share!! There are only a few but in a few days the whole chorus will be singing. They seem to be late this spring. The robins are back and the crocus are blooming. Spring may really be coming. Okay, it's COLD, but we're getting there!

I'm tired, so maybe it's just me, but I'm giggling!!
I just picked up three Blue Swedish cross hens last Sunday. They are in my garden shed in a huge dog pen in isolation. I have four other ducks, a pair of Khaki Campbells and a pair of Blue Swedish. So when everyone is integrated I will have 2 drakes to 5 hens, an improvement over the 1/1 ratio I...
I just picked up three Blue Swedish/Runner duck crosses. I took only the ducks. The lady is also looking for homes for three BS/Runner drakes and three Brown Chinese Geese. If you are interested please PM me an email address and I'll forward it to her. The birds are just a little too much for...
With so much talk about maple syrup and some of us amateurs trying to make our own, as well as some pros, I though it would be a good time to share any favorite recipes using maple syrup! Thanks in advance
We pretty much knew yesterday we were going to have a snow day today. We went and got canning jar lids, apples and pears, dried figs and apricots, etc. I started last night and continued through the day making jelly, jam, marmalade, quick bread and English muffins as well as a small batch of...
Hi everyone, we'd like to add two more female khaki campbells to our small backyard flock. We currently have two pairs of ducks and need more females! We also have blue swedish and would consider females of that breed as well. Young adults would be our preference. Thanks!
He saw our Aussie Monday afternoon. Jack has slowed down over the last month and suddenly last week started having a really tough time getting around. The vet found a mass on his liver and long story short, Jack is having a tough time breathing this afternoon. He had seemed like he was...
Who else thinks that Cornelius is just one handsome little guy!? I've always loved looking at pictures of him. As soon as I saw the new pic of the week I knew it was him.
I've searched and can't find a quick answer in the many pages that come up. My question is, can one goat and one sheep keep each other company? Or does it depend on individuals. I'd love to have one Nigerian Dwarf doe to possibly milk one day and a Shetland Sheep. We really don't have room for...
OSV is a recreated 1830s village in Massachussetts. We're members and go every few months, more often in the warm weather! We went today since we are all on vacation from school. Here are a few pictures of some of the animals at the Village. I can't believe they've had their first lambs born...
Two mornings in a row I have found an egg on the floor of my coop. I only have one chicken who lays a white egg, and it is a very white egg. Both mornings there has been a very white egg in one of the nest boxes. The egg I'm trying to ID is just different somehow. The shell feels smoother and...
They didn't sell any last year, the year I was looking to buy chicks for the first time. I just went to buy dog food today and there was the sign "Have you ordered your chicks yet?" My husband was waiting in the car. He took the news well when I told him I ordered 6 chicks with someone else last...
