It's been rough few days over here, with a huge loss, a rescue, and a power outage. I have just lost my last remaining grandparent, my grandmother, two weeks after I lost my grandfather. I know that this is not an uncommon thing for people who have lived together so long and suddenly one is alone. It's still hard though. I was going to email her pictures of all the chickens here to cheer her up, but before I could she was in the hospital and she passed away yesterday.

I also went out last night after dark to shovel off my back deck, because we were afraid the weight of the snow might collapse it, and I looked out over the yard and to my horror, the roof of the muscovy pen had collapsed in under all the snow and buried my drake and duck. It is a small miracle that they were where the were when the roof collapsed, because instead of being crushed, they were pushed right up under the roofing material and snow against the side of the pen, where a tiny gap was left. There was just enough room that they were pinned and couldn't move but not crushed under the weight of the snow and roof. So I dug them out and put them in the main coop until spring, when they will move into the completed legbar coop. In the light of day they are fine and have no injuries, and are dealing well with being thrown in with all the other birds. The drake wandered over to greet me today while I was out feeding them. He was stuck the most badly and I think he realizes that I saved them.

oh, I am sorry for your loss with regard to your grandparents. That's hard. I am glad your ducks are OK.

I live in an apartment and only have a small back deck. Plus my landlady would never allow it. I wish things were different so I could have a few.
