Just starting in 2022

I'm adding some venting to the coop. The blocks between the rafters are pieces that were added after the roof, so I thought they would come out easier, but I can only get to them from the inside and they won't push through, they have to be pulled in. Oh well, I'm progressing and the hardware cloth should get delivered tomorrow.

Looking good. when do you get your ducklings?June?

June 1st. But I've been looking for adults on Craigslist, with no luck. I did find some about 2 hours away. They were described as being "Mallard type" (?).
I ask what the mix was and truthfully from the response it would be easier for them to say what the mix isn't than what it is.
They said; "Mallard type, Ancona, Pekin, Cayuga, Saxony, Blue Swedish, White Layer Females. Blue Magpie, Pekin, Cayuga Males.".

In other words, they have no idea.
Nice breeds they have though. would they send pictures?

This is something I will be using, I am sure. The reason I know that is because my property sits partially in Norway Michigan and partially in Vulcan Michigan.
Norway has an ordinance banning commercial agriculture, however Vulcan Michigan does not have such laws banning "Farming".

Whoo Hoo! Got my 1st ever PFM Badge, due to a lucky guess in the 250k messages contest. I came in 4th place and I chose the 3 Month PFM. Now I can never let it expire.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Congrats!!

Look at what they're teaching my People!

Pretty funny though. they mean to say "dunks" not "ducks".

 

[rjmyooper]

Well I got the call; Ducks will be able to be picked up at 9:30am. The brooder is ready, but the run still has a couple of holes that need to be remedied.

Good luck! You must be very excited. They'll keep you busy for sure!
