I once had a mule duck (Muscovy/mallard X) try to hatch a half dozen apples.

Silly Chickens(and ducks)!

I love coffee - guys have you heard the news about the positive effects 2 or 3 cups of coffee can have on our bodies?

Yes! I read an article this week that said to wait an hour or two before drinking coffee in the morning since it will have more of an effect at that time health wise.

Around 6:30 pm was a good time too--but that might keep some coffee drinkers from sleeping. Not me though.

I was enjoying coffee on the porch this week when a hawk flew over with a snake in its talons.

I love it .... seen it myself here ..... a very long time ago.

Even as a kid, I knew that and was amazed that a sterile bird had apparently gone broody? One morning when she came out to eat, I watched and followed her back to her nest. Well hidden and lined with pulled feathers she had constructed a 'home' for her apples. I replaced them with fertile duck eggs.
