Yup..... bad thing is because it never rains they forget to clean the storm drains.... Two inches of rain makes some of our roads into lakes about two feet deep.

Hello everyone.
Been busy. Downsizing late this year. Need to hit harder. Way behind and should have done this earlier but needed to raise to 3-4 months so I could see how they were developing. Some are keepers and some will go. Next year things will be different. (Yeah right) plans to get RIR & RIW to make my own Red Stars. Need a run of heavy hitters. What are your plans for the coming year.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Rebuild my muscovy flock, lost 4 females...
3 to a fox, 1 to the cold I think (I don't have the slightest clue really why she died, just dead sitting in the pen during a cold snap... total shame)
Next on the list is put a roof on the pen (never put the top up when I set it back up big mistake with flying ducks)
Actually reverse those, first pen roof then rebuild... Then fix my incubator

Yep.... bad winter for muscovy.


Hope you rebuild easily this summer.

Gotta cougar around too, just crap luck

And eat my dog while its at it... Amazingly it ran when the dog went after it (I feel pretty lucky) hubby called the CO to let them know

 

[Ravynscroft]

Dang... so sorry, Sam, that sucks... careful about the cougar...

bad luck for the muscovies for sure. Hoping for an easy rebuild in the spring.

No epic fails to report here this year. Actually had a pretty good year
