I don’t understand how you people can live on those hills.

I am afraid to drive them in a car. I felt safer on my MC on them. I figured I could just jump off the MC if things went bad and let the insurance company buy me a new one.

It’s hard to jump out of a car.
Trust me: My driveway, as much as it is in bad shape, is one of the best here in the area! Some folks have 12° driveways made out of gravel and some others have just small strips of concrete for their tires.
And for the MC, i prefer having a metal cage around me when a 300lbs deer jumps across the road which happens frequently here…
 
This time i definitely bit off more than i could chew: After 80 minutes of hard work i managed to clean out only ¾ of the duck house and had just 10 minutes left to re-stock the cleaned sections with fresh straw before i had to rush back inside for my conference call. The second bedroom will be cleaned tomorrow.
The ducks are complaining loudly about their thinner mattress:
And at 0:40 you can see the difference in the thickness of the straw between both bedrooms when a duck almost falls down.
 
Okay George, my new Rouen drake has 5 hens. But loves only one. This afternoon both of her wings were bleeding. Tomorrow he goes to drake jail and I sort this little one over to her father and uncle. And ill give George Laura and desert, the half Saxony twice his size and take no poo. If that doesn't work ill switch them for the full Saxonys which even I am afraid of. Poor little girl. I was looking for neck injuries not wing ones. I watched and he chases and chases only her.

Similar with Blanca and Earthquack Duck here. They are every drake's famous ducks. and now the two new White Layers are joining the "cuddle club". It seems that the drakes prefer the more "round" and "fully" ducks over the slim ones. At least here…
 
This is what my car looks like today:

I guess I let it thaw for another while before I try to get it out. Problem is the driveway below the car:

Patience pays out! Got of my "important" conference call at 17:30 and rushed down to the car before it got too dark outside. All the white fungus on my driveway had disappeared, even downhill of the car. So i hopped in, started the engine and unleashed the all-wheel-drive (X-Mode is king in such situations @Magnolia Ducks). Car pulled out of the ditch with just two wheels on solid ground without hesitation.
True Winter tires are sold out here until the end of the month, so for now i will keep a bag of gravel in the car, one never knows here…
 
Today i had a very important package in the mailbox, its content:

Thank you @Magnolia Ducks for showing your duck-scoops here!
And thank you @Muscovy Wunda for providing the eBay-Link!
You can get a nice Rooster set to go with it,
