Who would have thunk it?!
After going missing for quite a long time, the prodigal duck has returned.....with (13) ducklings in tow. AMAZING!!

My heart is heavy this morning--a fox visited last night and took 5 of my remaining 8 ducks. He took four newly egg laying females, which adds insult to injury. It's our fault, however, because we forgot to go and put the ducks in their pen last...

Are you still considered a humane farm if you shoot your neighbors’ dog for eating your layers? We lost two of our newest layers on Christmas Day and two from the second youngest group, two days later. It seems that the attacks are from a dog and...

We've lost more chickens in these past two months then we have in any other contiguous 60 day period. I guess we are lucky though, we almost got to three years before having to deal with our first large casualty loss. Fortunately, we know why,...

It's sort of ironic. Big Guy died last night probably right around the same time the first of his babies this year made its first peck at its egg shell and began the process of hatching. The circle of life in one hour. No poults (baby turkeys)...

Two weeks ago we planted the second of the 3 Winter Gardens. In just a few days the vegtables were poking their little heads through the soil. Excitement abounded! Today we discovered that the wild birds have made a feast of the new seedlings. Disappointment...
