Not here. And our weather has been gorgeous!

Of course I have eggs on lockdown. Watch, I'll get a broody the week AFTER they hatch.

Duckling bills and bitty webbed feet are surefire awwwww getters. Especially the Cayugas.

Deb, last year when one of my gals hatched and raised 14 ducklings I was constantly in love, watching them trundle around after their Mama and being kept in line and protected by a Toulouse goose! When all 14 got into the stock tank to swim, OMG. I counted them all as they scrambled out, every time!

Chicks are adorable, but ducklings... Oh my goodness. I can feel my heart swell every time I see baby ducks!

We had a couple of "mild" days and Forsaela decided she should go broody. I tried taking her out of the nest in the evening and returning her to the rafters. The next morning she would go back. I put her in the broody coop, sand floor, roost, no nest, when I let her out after two days, she went back to the nest box..........so....I put her in with Falki (he's been in solitary for a while now)......it seems to be working so she is staying in with him........I can't be having her "infect" the others while the weather is still so cold....I gave them the "I know it is 40 degrees and the sun is shining today, but the high on Saturday is going to be 23.....so NO brooding until, at least, this time next month" speech. We'll see if they listened.....I was in the main coop with the Icelandics since I'm figuring they are my probable broodies....I'm thinking since there was a GNH on the nest when I went out to lock-up that I should have given them the speech too.....of course, they also came from Kathy........

On the "good news, bad news" report.....got a new camera, my favorite Fuji died....
Here is a pic from this evening.....
the aforementioned Falki and Forsaela...

Hey! That new camera takes nice pictures! Great picture!

Forsaela looks just great!

I still have not set any eggs. I need to though. I am getting loads of eggs!

WOO HOO - It is broody time!

In a week or so I will likely be crying, "NO! NO more broodies!"
