Fugly Farm

I’ve come to the conclusion that if I’m going to have chickens again then I’m not housing ducks and chickens together. The ducks are just way too wet and the coop doesn’t dry out enough for my liking. I think the mini coop is better suited to ducks than the big one so I’m cleaning it out. I moved the feed outside and generally cleaned up the yard, had some lunch and then enticed the ducks out with some peas in a bowl of water. Then I made a few splashes in the pool and left. Yard as of today

Weeded the shade garden and tore out the Mexican poppies, then transplanted 13 strawberry roots among the herbs. Transplanted four of the fairy dusters in the backyard as well, then worked on the ducks yard. Tomorrow will be seed sowing and general yard straightening. I have things to put away, trash to dump, etc. Ran to walmart for a bottle of Brandy to marinate tri tip for dinner and the dishwasher is running. I’m pooped.

It sounds like you need a day off from your day off!
 
Pretty birds, are you thinking of trying them IM?

There was a breed focus thread on them a few years ago if you haven't seen it yet:

Thanks so much for the link NFC. Hubs ordered 4 pullets for me for our anniversary, they’ll be here in April. I had no idea and was surprised he’d been paying attention when I talked about them. Talk about surprises!
