➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

CJ is the one wearing the pussy hat. The other 2 are our friends from across the road. We were toasting our first drink of water from our well.

The snow did get low enough to unearth the duck pool. Unfortunately, there's still a giant hunk of ice in it, so it won't be coming out for quite a while yet. I thought I had it secured with a tarp last winter... but then we had an ice storm which bent and froze it before the snow really started falling. I hope it goes back to normal without breaking.

The shower and tub area are a bright white tile. There will be one row of grey tile at the bottom row, as the white from the tub and from the shower base will most likely match the tile. The shower tiles are going all of the way to the ceiling (9'). I got a blue for the walls, but I think it may be too dark, so I may just paint one wall in it and white the rest.

What makes you tear up watching the videos? My funny Canuck accent makes you laugh that hard?

No I don't think you sound funny at all. I'm just so excited for you.

The chickens have a hill right by their coop that gets full sun in the day. Some of it is down to bare dirt and they're having a blast.

I let the goats out for a bit recently. The snow in the main yard was still up to their bellies. Poor Lexie could barely get around, lol.

Because I'm the crazy person in your closet. Or did you forget about me?

Everytime someone calls me a 'crazy chicken lady' I think of you, Banty!

Is anyone here setting tomorrow for the Easter hatch? I have exactly one egg to set. Lazy bantams.

The run in my coop it pure muck right now. At least this year it's all melting slowly. Last year the rune were in about 3" of standing, freezing cold water. I still can't get into the runs to clean them out and add straw and such because of ice dams in front of the gates.

I'm setting some today, as I'm going to try to sell them at a Feathers and Farm sale on the 20th. I put 56 in a few days ago. it looks like I have 7 PC developing, but they're all mine.

I dumped a garbage can of wood shavings (from the shop) in front of the coop in hopes that it would make it at least partially passable. As it was, I was worried about chickens drowning, lol! It was okay every morning, because it would freeze solid, but by the end of the day it was awful.
