This just gave me an idea for my geese.

Geese have actually been used to pull smaller carts in the past! - Yes a TockTick video, but it shows a goose helping her farmer:

Happy
Duck Pile-Up Saturday
to everybody!​

It started to rain early this morning and now every surface here is coated in a thin layer of ice and that ice is covered in a thin layer of water, so everyting is very slippery.
I pulled on the string to open the latch of the dux-house door, heart the latch open, but the door was frozen in place again. Walked carefully over the treacherous landscape to the dux house and slammed the door open, saying »Carful it is very slippery here!«.
Everyduck started to run out, Mr. Boots first and after a few steps he slipped, fell and caused a 50 duck pile-up. It looked less peaceful than that:

And was very noisy as ducks complained and wings flapped. (And a humon laughed really hard.)
AIs are unable to imagine what a duck pile-up looks in reality...

Drifting Snow Sunday
to Everybody!​

»Oh No!« - that what i said instead of »Good Morning« when i looked out of the window for the first time this morning. All the hard work cleaning out my driveway has been nullified, voided, erased, …
I am officially 𝜋ssed! - So is the Dux!
All the beautiful brown, green and black spots have been covered with white fungus again! And it is still snowing and forecasted to continue until late tonight!


Well, i have diesel, gas and a pesticide sprayer…

We don't have the snow yet but it is coming. It is brutal out. I went ahead and ordered 2 Wood Ducks from Mallard Lane Farms in Tennessee. With Monday being a Holiday their site says they do not ship on those weeks and then I wanted them pinioned so that would take another 2-4 week delay for them to fully heal. Well, the delays have backfired on me and she said they will ship out this Tuesday! I will let you know how they survive with all of this crazy cold artic weather we are having. It will be at least -9 F on Wednesday morning when they might be arriving. She had some already pinioned and is shipping on Tuesday regardless of Monday being a Holiday, she said it was cold there too so hopefully since they are fully grown all will go well for me and them.

Can't you ask them to hold off until the cold snap is done??

It hit here yesterday, but I was prepared (sort of). I watch the weather forecast continuously, and had already made plans for the horribleness that Saturday was to be. Shovelled several times, put fresh hay in the coops (and in one case, around it) due to not having enough straw, I also dragged myself out to clean up the plow at the end of the driveway so it wouldn't freeze into a solid mass overnight.

See, it snowed here all day, on top of it going slightly above freezing at one point. So it was heavy and wet. Not a big deal, right? I could have waited a bit, right? NOPE! Because the temperatures dropped 20 degrees C overnight!!! That is roughly 30 degrees F. In a matter of hours. Thus why I made sure everyone was bundled up in fresh dry stuff.

This cold snap will be here until Wednesday.
