I've seen my Ancona be very territorial with other ducks. Once they are side by side with a fence in between for a little while they do fine but they will turn on each other in a heartbeat of they haven't been together. I'm assuming yours were together for a while already and this would have been hormone driven. Are the drakes still breeding heavily or are they just starting to breed?

the older ducks have been breeding since the start of this year and they are still breeding with their mates. My hubby throws their eggs away in the burn pile. He does not want to deal with ducklings right now. We left farm to gonmeet up with a BYC gal and give her 20 Cochin Bantams and BabyDolls and then visit our son in the hospital. When we returned, we returned to carnage!

Morning!

Deb, lovely description from the desert. It's nice when you can hear muted discussions in the distance, especially sounds of people having a good time.

Sam, that pepper looks super cool.

AnA, sorry about your ducks. I don't know much about ducks though, so I can't be of any help.

Hilma went to see her boyfriend again yesterday. She didn't seem too happy about it. But we should be getting another litter in a month.

Eemeli, the roo, seems to be a bit confused, he's started trying to mate the 10 week old pullets. They're not too happy about it. Emma still hasn't returned to production, but Töyhtis and Wilma are making a lot of eggs, and they're a pretty nice size too. Wilma is laying about 65-67g eggs and Töyhtis is in the 60-62g range most days now.

Nice
How the new job?

Purple plants can some times be from a deficiency in a mineral or or something I've heard. I got a package of purple cayenne peppers for free I didn't plant , I don't know what the plant looks like though.
