    Hen acting strange

    Hi everyone! This morning I came out to take care of the girls and let them out and I noticed Rose acting funny. She didn’t want to leave the run to free range and once I coaxed her out she just lays down. She seems not as active as she usually is and lately we’ve been battling soft shelled eggs...

    Ross Acres' Daily Thoughts and Happenings...

    Thoughts of the morning. I have switched to replacing my ducks' pool water in the morning. I feel like it's a little better than replacing it in the early afternoon, after work. They get fresh water first thing in the morning this way. I built a new pen for the boys since they are being...
