Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

What a day...

Lost the hen, it was EYP and she prolapsed as well... at least it was quick... woke up with torn nail duck curled up on my chest, she is playing up this owie...

Lav Orp got sick of the Leghorn boy and beat him up until the coop popped open, spent an hour trying to catch that stupid flighty thing... turkey bit my finger first thing, so I'm slinging blood around while trying to gather up the birds for sale... and the grow outs got loose just as I was trying to box most of them up, so didn't get rid of half of what I wanted to...

Ohiki had a hidden nest and hatched 2 chicks, but is still setting on a bunch of eggs...

And one of the Silver Calls went broody, in a bad spot, lol...

Now I've got to bathe a dog and 2 cats thanks to the nasty flea population explosion lately...

The up side? Storm blew over us without dumping but dropped the temp 20°... got a nice cool breeze going...

Vacations are tough when you have birds and animals. Bottom line is that NOBODY will do things as well as you do, and that is a concern. For this trip we had a young girl (grand daughter of the princess's best friend) stay at the house and take care of things. She did a really good job. Problem is that she will soon return to college. My usual caretaker does not 'house sit' so we take our house dog (surrogate daughter) to our daughter's usually.

i just fenced in a large area of my yard.....so i can off for a few days and my daughter can take care of the ducks without worrying about them wondering off and getting in trouble.

Hey WV grab a few 2x4 studs and a few sheets of roofing for me while your there. I'm try to finish a breeding pen.

Well darn, didn't see this message before I went, so you're outta luck. I would hate to contribute to any more lost digits anyway.

Agree with Friday. Ugh! Pretty little Ohikis though! Did Shade get video of you chasing the birds, bleeding.

And yet another gorgeous broody!

This Call broody isn't related to Lady Grey, oddly enough...
