Good, very annoying rats as I would call them. Go off on their clicking/chirping noises I'm grabbing nearest rock to throw.
Camera set up, lets see what we can catch.

So... What did you get?

Nothing yet.

I think the ducks are getting ready to drop eggs or they see winter coming early. Past two days they aren't flying out the door, more of lingering for extra hour or so.
Guess I better get some nesting boxes built.

I can tell winter is coming. My chickens are molting already

My ducks are too. Looks like someone had a pillow fight in the Waddle Inn when they come out flapping wings, feathers galore filling the air.

My ducks molted in like June. My Welsummers are currently molting. My australorps also seem to be starting to molt. It's regularly 100⁰ish these days... Maybe we're going to cool down earlier than usual? We don't normally hit below 50⁰ before mid October...

Maybe only in July and part of August we don't hit 50's at night. A 90° day nets 50's, when it hits the 100's it hoovers around 60's at night and around 110° and up we hit 70's at night. This state holds a record back in 1970's it went from 49° to -54° in 24 hours, not uncommon for 50° plus temperature swings. By mid October snow will be on the ground till April/May. First day of Spring I claim is Memorial Day here.

I claim winter is coming early too, mid 80's for August, nope that's wrong and we had hand full of scattered days of mid 70's in August. Normal is 90 to 100+.
