I want brown muddy stuff on the ground instead of white!!!

And... you offered them the chance to go back to the pond??! Are you insane??!!! Thankfully they didn't go. Keep that fence closed! lol

I want that green stuff back! - May have to wait until April…
I could not bare it anymore, I with every step in the dux-yard i stepped on a dux that said QUACK! - And i had to do some work before the rain hit, so i opened the fence. They don't lay eggs anyways, so if they want they can stay on the pond for now. Less work for me and less muck in the yuck-yard. But they promised to be back for the night…
So the dux are back on the pond, except for Blanca and El Chapo Duckman who has both of his eyes infected and is almost blind. He shares the patio with Blanca now. She has already protested loud when he ate from »her« food and drank »her« water!

Fox got into the smaller chicken coop. Lost six chickens, including my OEGB. Some may have escaped, but I can't see or hear them anywhere. Only looks (from the feathers and blood) that one was killed. No idea if they will return, and our mild weather ends tonight.

It couldn't get into the duck coop, but now I'm worried for them even more during the day.

So sorry to hear this. I pray that they are safe and just ran off but will return. I have heard of a fox carrying them to his den and not eating them on the spot. Hopefully that is not what happened.

My peafowl were accidently poisioned confirmed yesterday. There's no way my other birds can access the poision, this happened because there was no way to keep peafowl in permently and they enjoyed their daily trip to farm workshop to get the barley. Unfortunately the boss put out a high dose mouse poison treated wheat for the mice and the birds ate it. We won't get into how this product is ment to be put out in bait stations to stop birds and larger animals from accessing it

I'm sorry to hear this, Wanda. BIG HUGS to you.


I detest poisons. They are a cruel way of 'controlling' pests as well as dangerous. Not only can other animals, like yours, get into it, but then you have animals that eat the dead poisoned ones, and so on. Devastating. I wish they were banned.

So sorry to hear this!!!! When it rains it pours. I feel so bad for you. How many did it get???? Hopefully not all of them. I always heard that they need a large area to live in and that they can fly so its no wonder that they could get to it. I was offered a pair a while back but when I read that you need acres of land and how loud they are I decided my smaller area would not be fair to them. There was one on my bus route that was beautiful and would always fly across the road and eat the neighbor's stallions food. He was a mean horse and one day he kicked its head off! That was a sad ending to theirs.
