I thought wire hurts ducks feet??? Ducks should be ducks drilling big holes in the mud!

Do you guys know how many birds you have? Every once in a while I count them up but I always forget the number very quickly, lol Was pretty embarassing when the NPIP lady asked me how many birds I have and I couldn't tell her

Mine are on wire now or there would be no way they could stay in the house. They seem to be doing fine on it. The drake likes to perch on the brick that I have in there to keep them from knocking thier water over and the hen sprawls out in her little nest box like a cat, lol

Duck is it ever gonna warm up at your house? Ya'll have such LOOONNNGGG winters up there(so do Sonja and justme).

Our winters arent usually as cold as this one was. It's usually pretty mild up until January but this year December was nasty cold. But we didn't get nearly as much snow here as people closer to the coast and NYC. During the major blizzard on December 26th that dropped 2 feet on NYC we only got 2"and we are only an hour outside of the city. We have a whole different climate here. I am in the foot hills of the Kittatinny Mountains which is a branch of the Appalachian mountain range and I think a lot of the bad weather gets blocked by the higher hills somehow. If I drive 5 minutes down into the valley the temp will drop 10 degrees on the really cold days. But we do have nasty wind up here. That's why I had no TV for a few days last week. The wind moved the dish that was just installed 2 months ago.

Could you please find me a small farm (10-20 acres) close to you. Sounds like you have my kind of weather

That's what I think, too, duck! We don't put our ducks on wire at all.

Mine have been playing in the mud for the last few days. There were a could of times I thought they morphed into Khaki Campbells lol

EXACTLY how many???? Not without thinking about it and using my fingers and toes.

Actually I have 34 chickens and 23 ducks(I just had to count them real quick).

Small farms make up my whole neighborhood. If you can call it a neighborhood, lol Unfortunatly, property is easy to come by right now because of all the forclosures. I noticed a sign this morning that one of the old houses in the village is going up for auction

Have fun with your mom tomorrow, ady.
Do what I did to my MIL once. She was telling me how what I needed to do, how I needed to treat her son, etc. I told her maybe HER SON needed to find someone who was willing to put up with BOTH of them...I'm evil!
