Yellowstone is giardia prone, check out water filters for that. Here is a photo of the one I ended up carrying several years ago. If you are on horseback then it still might be your best choice. I always needed to balance ease of pumping with "Micron" filter ability, you need it to be fairly easy to pump so you drink enough. If it filters to well it clogs easily. the second photo below is nice, no pumping. if the advertisement claims "millions" of gallons then the water is clean before they start.

I got.... I think four eggs yesterday. All from my 5 new pullets.

Besides Sunshine's eggs, I haven't seen an EE egg in months.... Slackers!

I haven't had an Easter egg lately either. I was surprised to find that my Muscovie seems to have stopped laying for the winter. If anyone has Muscovies, and can tell me if this is normal, I'd appreciate it.

Mornin MC! Hope you also have a great day!  what did you get accomplished yesterday then?  any word on when ducklin is coming back?

I spent about half an hour trying to get a temporary run done. After calling Heather to cry that I couldn't do it (I swear that frame looks worse every time I look!) I got back at it, and managed to get about three hours of work done that I thought I had done a while ago. All of the old chicken wire and staples are now down. I hammered the frame back together the best I could, and removed the door. I need to work on the door, and will reinstall it when spring comes and the run is rebuilt. I began putting up some fencing, but couldn't get it to line up right. So, I hope to figure that problem out today. I desperately need to get a run put together before next week. I also need to get two more tons of gravel into the run.
I'm not sure when to expect Duckling again. Probably today or tomorrow.
