Ooh, lucky you. Usually about the middle of February I consider moving south... Minnesota, maybe. Their weather is nice.

Banty I find all your posts funny. Thank you.

We came out of Wisconsin / Minnesota brown in the summer colder than a witches (you know what) in the winter and Tornadoes just for fun

The tornadoes don't sound fun. Maybe I'll stay up here and just swear a bit whenever I see the thermometer.

Banty I find all your posts funny. Thank you.

I aim to please.

So something happened to me this weekend that could cause someone to say "where did they come from".

I made a trade for several of my chickens for 5 ducks. A trio of wood ducks, and a pair of marbled teals.
The only open area i had to put them is a makeshift bachelor pen that i had set up when i had some males to rehome. It has a small coop box that i used for grow-outs, it is fenced, with netting overhead.
Well, the first evening (Saturday), the wood drake found an opening in my netting and took off. I hoped he would stay nearby his girls, but I haven't seen him since. Yesterday I was trying to remove some water collected on top of a canopy, and startled the others, and 2 more found other holes. So now 3 are gone. I won't likely see them again, as they don't even know they were safe here. Their wild instincts took over and I'm sure they are gone.
They would be next to impossible to catch if anyone found them, unless wounded. But just so everyone knows, it is possible to lose birds accidentally and feel totally horrible about it. I failed. Majorly
