I have grossly miscalculated my ability to keep up with processing all
the birds I raised this year. Slipping an extra dozen into the
incubator, and then another, and later finding a hen sitting on eggs,
all seemed rather innocent and inconsequential this...

I am finding that the egg-laying of my ducks is slowing down this month. I have gotten as few a 1 per day and as many as 5 per day this month. My 10 Indian Runner ducks are now 1 year old this month. This is the first time they have slowed down...

The farm is diversifying and evolving. Got freezer beef? We sold out our pastured chickens in no time at all and will encourage repeat customers and new customers to pre-order so we know how many to raise. 2 young goats were processed and have been tried with...

I have found, in looking through Craigs List and various other local listings, that there are not a lot of duck eggs for sale in the Leesburg, VA area. I am not sure why that is, but am glad I have ducks that lay eggs year round so far. They were...

Because I have laying ducks, I guess I think about duck eggs more than most folks. Over the past year that I've added duck eggs to our farm's list of offerings, I have observed that a good number of folks I come in contact with locally and at the farmers...

Last year we had our family from Chicago come to the farm for Thanksgiving. We originally planned to raise a turkey just for the occasion, but the farmer friend who bought the turkeys couldn't keep them safe long enough for us to pick ours up....

This is my first blog ever. This week has been full and it isn't even Wednesday. I have been building a duck pen so I can move my young ducks (4) out of the bathroom. I have been brooding them in a plastic tub with shavings in the bottom. Two are Khaki...

A brief break in the weather resulted in a delicious pond of water. Our duck-rooster (he thinks he is a chicken, talks like a rooster and has bonded with 3 hens) swam about and excitedly brought his hens to the water. He nudged his big red hen into...

Manure is not much from one or two ducks, it will fertilize the lawn or place where they live. But with a larger group of ducks, it does accumulate, then the best thing is to compost the manure in a pile, somewhere it can rot and break down over time,...
