Flock/Life Journey's 2019

[WhoDatChick]

Omg guys i think i give up! I just...GIVE UP. Babies apparently died last night when someone got off the nest but no one got on IN FREEEZING TEMPS. My other clutch has revealed itself infertile, and my other 4 pairs arent even mating right now much less laying AND I JUST CANT. I cant live in accipitor central and not have breeding birds! My niebohr hase a flock of anywhere from 100 to 300 Swift's at a time and he can barely keep up whith the hawk attacks, compared to me whith like 5-6 breeding pairs that aren't breeding! I think I may just fly them come spring and lose who I lose in order to find a better producing/parenting flock. Because so far I had a clutch whith defects dying at hatch, this pair was healthy but parents weren't up to par apparently and a 3rd clutch I found to be infertile after checking this morning. So thinking I may just let the hawk weed them out and find some new blood or simply use their loft for some other fowl and just keep a pair or 2 for fun.but at this point the pigeons aren't benifiting me or the property by just staying locked up hoping they'll breed and then proving incapable of raising anything to feathering age -_-

So sorry about your birds!

Lovely pictures all.

Put an offer in for a house we like but there was another bid. Will find out tonight if we got it.

Krystal, that looks awesome, the only dish I've baked is tater tot casserole, I need to learn to bake more dishes but we need to get a baby gate for the kitchen first, DS likes to play around the oven and under the sink where the pots and pans are when I am in the kitchen.

Normal morning so far, the weather isn't too bad, hopefully I can finally make it to DS' appointment and hope yours goes well Kayla. A crested duck yay and the drake is beautiful too.

Good Morning Love,
Fingers crossed you get the house!
Buying a house is so stressful but worth it. The house my partner and I own is my 2nd house ive owned. The first one I built omg worst experience of my life but it was a beautiful house just not on land. The house we are in now is my partners first house. I had never moved out before until I bought a house with Jordan. I still lived with my family.
Let us know how it goes love.

When I have a baby I won't be able to baby gate the kitchen ill have to work something out.

My neighbors dog just killed Jake. Jake was one of our family dogs. I feel bad I haven’t posted much about him. I can’t believe he’s gone. Here he was:

So sorry HuffleClaw . Are people allowed to keep killer dogs in the states?
