What did you do???
We have NO grass!!! All sand!
Granted I let my chickens eat all we had, but even then it looked more like the before picture.
Now it's just a giant sand box....

Good morning folks

Another hot one is in store for today. It almost sprinkled
yesterday but missed us for the most part. Guess I will
mow some grass today and fence a few areas and let
the four hoof lawn mowers munch too.

hope everyone has a good day

Good morning!

FVRM, I could take pictures of my backyard. Six months ago it was green and pretty. Now it has a coop, a run, a duck pool, a duck house, way less grass and holes where the ducks dig when it is wet. Looks awesome now!

Seriously, FVRM your yard looks great, but I had to go look up permaculture...

We got our first two duck eggs ever last night and this morning! I'm so excited. We bought our 2 runners Feb. 9 at a week old.

I got my KCs about a month after you (same age) so I guess I should be expecting first eggs in a month

Congrats on your first eggs Tapioca.

Good luck on your s too starlingdaly.

I am hoping my Khaki Campbell will hatch some eggs but seems
I have either a snake, opossum or raccoon raiding her nest.

Hey Everyone! I just read through 20 some odd pages trying to get caught up. Sorry to all those that have had losses, and congrats to those have hatched! Well wishes for everything else in between.


Just to recap, I started with 4 RIR, lost one to what seemed to be a heart attack or something at a few weeks. Replaced that one with a BR bought a supply store as a female. 2 weeks ago I lost another RIR, 9 weeks old...which just didn't seem right from the start, it always did this weird head shaking thing. I haven't replaced that one yet.

So, yesterday, I sent pics of my last 2 RIR to the lady at the farm I got them from so she could sex them for me. They are now 11 weeks old, and she said they are roos. I have become particularly attached to these two, but if they are Roos, they have to go. What do you think?

Oh no! I have been having nightmares a about raccoons ever since I moved the chickens over to the new house. Crafty little devils. I have been literally locking my chicken coop door with a key I am so paranoid!

Thanks for the well wishes. maybe my much smaller, same aged exchequer leghorns will begin to lay before my Campbell's.
They are a bit runty from two dog attacks that left the smaller one injured both times so I am not positive what to expect from them. They are 15 weeks old today!

Stay cool everyone! I finally gave in and watered my plants. No matter what the forecast says, I just haven't gotten any rain!!!
