Peeps in Europe!

We're in NE Slovenia and only have ducks. This is our first winter with them and we were worried about pouring away all the water - the orchard would become a swamp... So I made a gravel pit for them and it's going well. They are young ducks and of a very good layer breed (Khaki Campbell) so we're getting around 2/3 egg production daily during all of December. so far our only regret about the ducks is not having started earlier.
 
Enjoy your stay, Germany is a beautiful country, but you probably know that better than me. It's a little chilly for my liking, but everything is lusciously green...springtime as chickengr put it. Not looking forward to the two to three week snow in late January and early February. The birds are doing good, enjoying the variety in the greenery

Happy New Year everyone!!

I am starting the new year with some changes. I rented a garden in the past and we are quitting the garden. It has been too much work and since it is not near our house it is always such a hassle. As well as I have been having knee issues. At first I was sad but now I am relieved.
2nd change will be that I am quitting the Augsburger breed. Well, probably. I noticed that the Augsburger like to chase the Sulmtaler away from the food. My Sulmtaler were somewhat smaller than last year. And I believe it was caused by the Augsburger. Don't get me wrong, the Augsburger are a wonderful breed. But my Sulmtaler are just more quiet and the Augsburger more forceful. I love them both but they just don't work out together.

Change is hard sometimes. But we usually come out stronger from the whole experience. The fact that you're feeling relieved, means it was probably the right decision:hugs. No massive shifts here. I've come to the realisation that aseel breeding is not something u can do right now, or ever. I'm loving the bantams more and more, but as of right now, the Tsouloufati are still going to be bred
