How are your Wood Ducks doing? Mine are still skittish but get along well with everyone else and are doing just fine.

I have Wood Ducks? - Where?

I vaguely remember that @shawluvsbirds has some Woodies. Good opportunities to ask her how they are doing?

What breed of duck is Spokes may I ask? My two Rouen ducks laid up until they were about 6 and then finally quit. I have several born last year in May and August and have yet to see any eggs but they are all just starting back up right now so maybe in the near future I will.

Spokes Duck?!
She is the spokes duck for the whole flock?

That sound just like Violeta. She is talking the whole day long…

Sunny Sunshine's daughters from last year have recently joined the egg business. There's a lot of chicken-egg sized blue eggs in my basket every day. Too small to sell, they will go into our bellies…

Spokes is my own combination. A little KC, A little Pekin , and a little runner

A Pekin sized ball of chocolate with the ability to run really fast?

@WannaBeHillBilly i know I asked this last year, but I forgot the answers. I’m once again thinking about getting some kind of incubator for my fertilized duck eggs., looking for something that works but does not break the bank..

Your Daffodils are already flowering!
Here it'll be in 10-14 days.

We had some creative weather this winter so the February gold that should have started in... well, February... are now flowering together with the classic dependable Tete-a-tete. Later on we got many other cultivars including the multi-headed super scented Jonquilla sub-family of daffodils.

I really like them because the color gives one a boost of optimism that's needed after the winter blahs; and I planted many to support the young fruit trees - presumably they can drive voles away. They spread slowly because we've got such heavy soil but it's happening. So we have literally thousands of them every spring. It's a happy time.

We have been blessed with temperatures in the 70's all this week. Sunshine and nice weather does the body good.

Spokes is a barnyard duck, some KC, A little runner and a little Pekin.

Yes, she speaks for everyone. They all go out but she goes to the feed room door and quacks. if they need fresh water, she dips in and out of the bowl to show me and she will come to the door and knock for peas. The other ducks just wait around for her to get them what they want. Its quite cute.
