Good morning Friends
Fancy those pictures of the girls with the chooks and Castiel are beautiful! Your daughter is very talented. Got a good chuckle from the ‘Tasmania Yesterday; Tasmania Today’
Babesfarm good to meet you and welcome to the thread. Unfortunately I am not able to help you with the duck question, I have no experience with ducks.
Tee hee potato chip I wonder if those who know me well cringed when you mentioned Crows and thought ‘have Teila’s soap box on the ready’! lol
I have been having a battle with the Crows for a couple of years now, even have a thread about it!

Anyways, my advice, do not trust them!
Your chookies sound like they are big enough for the Crows to not be a threat. I have seen one pin down a juvenile Turtle Dove and attempt to eat him alive. They also hassled a Turtle Dove out of her nest which they destroyed, along with the eggs which they ate.
I hate them!
On the subject of Crows … while they have been around in the trees, they have not ventured down onto the lawn to steal food and/or eggs etc since Dusty’s second bashing of the determined one a couple of days ago … good girl Dusty!
Tee hee Anniebee I enjoyed your telling of the scratch mix parties. Any parties here are monitored by Crystal; while she does not take on the Crows, she does chase away the Turtle Doves..I think this is because she is bottom of the pecking order and enjoys having someone to pick on for a change
And, yes, of course, we do have our Head Bouncer, Dusty.
I do believe Mother Nature is in a ‘mood’.
She turned off the heater yesterday lunch time and turned on the mega sized, industrial fan .. where we used to have a gazebo we now have a flapping canvas on a gazebo frame. Today, apparently, she is turning on the sprinklers and I am thinking the gazebo is not going to be the best place to try and stay dry
