    Crested duckling

    Ah, one of those fatal gene things. I only have one right now, but I'll remember that in case I get anymore. Thanks Det! Goodness knows I've been having enough trouble with my hatches lately without throwing fatal genes into the mix.

    No, I know nothing about it. I just realized that Goose has a fluffy head, but that's it.

    WHAT IS THIS????

    I don't think ginger would overwinter in your area Cat, but I may be wrong. When I tear a piece of leaf off of mine it smells like ginger, so you might try that, just to check.

    And I just keep finding car hoods and pieces of old telephone poles... Oh well, my house is only about 40 years old.

    Bloody Murder!!!

    Oh, sorry, I'm a little bit touchy. :/ No we're not near town and I don't think anyone will notice. We don't have rain in the immediate forecast and the weeds really do grow in fast so, hopefully, it won't be too much of a problem. I'm thinking he probably missed some roots when he ripped it...

    Bloody Murder!!!

    It wasn't work, it was wanton destruction! It looks like a bomb went off. Plus, I'm worried about what all of the dirt will do to the creek when it washes in there. The fish have just recently come back after the creek dried up last year and I'd hate to think that the silt will smother them. A...

    I'm thinking a new chicken coop, but hubby gets the final vote, since he does the actual building.

    Recycling

    My hubby's company is between big jobs so he is doing a new deck for one of the boss' friends. He pulled out the old redwood decking (2x10's) and is replacing it with some kind of fake wood that doesn't need to be painted. Now all $8000 worth of redwood was headed for the dump, so hubby asked if...

    Chicks! (New picture)

    I lost 4 of the chicks last night, including my favorite. Not sure what happened, they were just dead. :hit I don't think they piled up on each other, there's no diarrhea, the others seem fine... I'm at a loss

    Crested duckling

    I just realized that one of my Rouen ducklings is crested. At least I think that's what the poofy feathers on top of the head are. I had 2 with the poofs but it (and another) got carried off by a hawk the other day.
