Now what?

I am definitely losing the egg battle but to add insult to injury dan came by with his family and his ducks are bigger than mine!! He feeds them dogfood....i give mine rice......

so do i switch to cat food...since that's what i have....or who cares rice is better?

what a day

One of jen's hen laid an egg in a different place and it was broken...who did that?

I am watching my flock and one of my hen's falls into the duck pond!! the one with the wierd neck like jen's black one...so eldon and i ran out and helped it out with a board....cordy thinks it couldn't have figure it out...but as usual I am always willing to interfere and help...even when not asked.....

but the good news...2 eggs for me.....egg salad for dinner...thank you ladies...

Eggs for me

Well my hens have started laying again.....3 eggs yesterday but ofcourse i had to throw one of the chickens off the nest to get them....looked like she was still on it at night but running around this morning...so we will see....

as for the one at jenny's.....she decided to get a rooster to keep it company...so one was delivered monday....milton apologized on how noisy he was...and yes once he started in the morning he went all day!! No eggs yet for her but maybe today they both settled down...will keep you informed....

as for my ducks....all is well....one is definitely larger than the other and tail up....male my guess.....

Broody hen went to jenny

I was feeling sorry for the brooding hen so took her to jenny's...ofcourse i finally had gotten 3 eggs again but let's give it a try.....so off she went good friday 10th of april...

came home to NO eggs.....this morning one of them has been in the nest and talking and walking around...maybe they miss her? They always chased her away when she came to eat with them....so we will see what happens....

Chickens have found way into duck pen so now eating their food also!! Guess i will be using alot of rice...they now don't like the corn..only rice...ofcourse jenny is giving her hen vegetables...sorry guys none in the refrig....

Two ducks have dark bills one more pink...she or he as time will tell seems to be the dumbest...the other two get out and she is walking around like how do I get out? It finally figures it out...

They all sleep together in the coop at night..ducks go on their own and sleep on the floor.....
