I doubt we get snow. It rained about a foot last night. It will freeze and the idiots will start piling up

@CanuckBock brilliant post as ever! The more structures I want the more tools hubby seems to get. He calls it a win/win situation. All I can say is ok, because I do want a barn. haha
I will forward all the info to hubby, he'll be a busy man soon and I'll post pictures as we built.

My ducks will require a fairly large pasture, and i am debating on covering it too. Daytime thread is eagles. They will just fly off with a whole chicken in their talons. Yesterday I spent a significant amount of time looking up commercial fishing nets, it's a much more affordable option then any kind of wire.
Will it hold up, I sure hope (think?) so. After all, if a shark can get caught in one, I'd think it'll keep an eagle away from my ducks and chickens.




My last day sitting at this desk/computer.

Freedom, I can almost see you!!!

My pens look like ponds thanks to that storm.

And 4 wheel drive.
I could drive over a prius

Or a smart car.

@Sally Sunshine I'm doing pretty good. Not a whole lot to complain about.




Here are the chicks I hatched. Mutts galore! I'm getting better pics of them when I move them to the brooder a little later.

  sweet!!! what humidity you gonna run the first 7?  

I have no way to gage humidity, except by air cells. Bator is a little Brinsea Eco octagon. We have wood heat so both channels full. I'm a pretty hands on hatcher, my best hatch was the one I messed with the most so I'm going to do that again lol... Lots of candling, and egg shuffling..
This is my fourth hatch, 3rd with chickens. Ducks I had the best results with 8 of 9 hatched. One assisted because I got too handsie...
