Moved the duck house to the pond! Roof and doors up. Hoping to get them into their house on Monday.

Nice

Ice was so thick here one year that I couldn't stomp a hole in it to get traction, but I had to make it down the hill to water the dogs. By holding onto saplings along the way, I was able to get down, but couldn't get any footing to make it to a sapling on the way back. I hollered to DW to throw me a rope, but she couldn't find one, so she threw me one of the heavy extension cords so I could pull myself back to level ground.

They are not perfect, but have you tried Yaktrax?

So many posts here lol.

I had chicks hatch earlier this week. Totally forgot to write down when the next batch would hatch, yesterday was lockdown whoops... Well I went into lockdown this morning at least. One egg has pipped.

The chicks I hatched for a friend on Monday all hatched around the same time(late day 20ish). Except one who still hadn't done anything more on day 22.
Why is that? He still had yolk on him so I've been monitoring that and putting antibiotic cream on.

@Sally Sunshine They are purposely trying to seperate kids, and in my opinion not really teaching. I will stay of my x10,000.
Cute feeder BTW.

Quote: Not sure if I have or not, but I've at least tried similar products. They always seem to fall off my boots. Maybe I need golf shoes

You should

What?? we all do that, some places driving across the lake is faster than going around it.    Lots of the cabins on islands have all their lumber and cement delivered over the ice.


The ice gets 3-4 ft thick, it would hold a 747.   We have ice houses (fish houses) the size of campers with slide outs and everything that are pulled by one ton trucks out on the ice, holes drilled and people live in the fish house for a few months fishing through the floor.

The have TV. stoves, fridges, furnace's and AC.
here is one I grabbed at random off Craigslist.
