City folk gone country
Our ducks have had an on/off relationship with going into the coop at night. Just when we think they are on the ball, we go check on them and find them swiming around in the dark. Did I mention they were jerks? Well we have used rocks (not at the ducks just to splash in […]
What a nice surprise to wake up to snow on Christmas Day! Ok not everyone agrees about the snow thing but it is so pretty before it melts and becomes a muddy slushy mess. A few pics of our Christmas snow day. The ducks were cooped up again as temps were in the teens (and […]
We lost one of our ducks. We believe she was grabbed by an owl. Now there are 5 and they are ‘cooped’ up for a few days and none too happy about it either. Personally I think they are organizing and planning their escape. The one with her bill on the ground could be drawing […]
Having vertigo is never fun. When it flairs it’s ugly head you tend to walk like a weeble (remember “Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down”) because you don’t want to fall over. And if you move your head the wrong way the world literally spins a million miles an hour around your head. SO […]
I kept them in their coop/run for a couple days due to the cold weather. Ducks are resiliant but even they can get cold and get frostbite on their flippers. I never knew that. Honestly I never really even thought about it. Till the Quacken arrived. Now I research and read as much as I […]
It’s Tennessee so we get more rain and cold than snow but being a northern girl I it isn’t winter until white stuff covers the trees and ground. Just a little snapshot of our little corner of the world It’s super pretty when it snows, until it starts to melt or the dogs run around […]
I am certainly finding out there is so much to learn and every day it’s something new. I recently learned of fodder. What is fodder you ask? Well it’s food for livestock and other critters. You can make it yourself in whatever size you need. We only have the chickens, ducks and rabbits that would […]
I know I have mentioned this project more than once so I thought I would post some pics. I still need to get better pics now that it’s done so I will update later. For now here are some pics of the work in progress
I know right? Not very exciting topic but I had heard that rabbits love celery. Until now they had really only had carrots and lettuce for treats. But now for the big test. The noise you hear over the crunching is that of Tiny. He makes all kinds of noise being impatient. Food is his […]
Well I realized yesterday that if I call the Quacken from the gate they come running hoping for a treat and will give you a good duck cussing if you don’t have one. Today I filmed it and it’s pretty cute to see them come running up the hill as fast as their webbed feet […]
