I don't recall if anybody else on here has ducks, but I thought to share that Farm and Fleet is carrying duck feed on the shelf now. It's in the same idle as chicken feed. It's not the cheapest though. I recall it being $18 or $20. However, the meet bird feed is now $18 too. I swear I look for feed too go on sale anymore before buying.

Feed prices went up.... and not likely to come down much anytime soon. INFLATION

I go through half a bag a day....last year I had more birds and was going through a bag a day.

I would be eating more birds rather than feeding them

Yeah, but what to do with all my useless seramas?!

I eat quail so I would eat a serama too if they were consuming half a bag of feed per day.

I made something today. I am already looking forward to Spring and my garden. All of my seeds were creamed into an envelop that was certainly too small. I tried finding a small container around the house but had no luck. So I built a little seed box out of some scrap plywood I had in the garage. It works, although I wish I made this bigger even because I've already filled it.

If you're like me and don't enjoy the cold at all, perhaps this gets you thinking about warmer days. Also, at 4pm today I noticed it was still bright outside instead of the sun already setting. The days are getting longer - slowly but surely. Let's hope the warm weather goes by just as slowly.

Very nice.
I use baby jars label each one with what seeds they are.

DW said no more babies. I didn't keep baby jars around from the DS or DD. I sure would like another baby so I could find uses like that for the baby food jars.
