On the homestead blog: my (for now) daily post of (not really) ducklings. 🦆
Month: July 2020
I’m fortunate that I don’t need to leave the homestead very often: it’s been 57 days since the last time, when I picked up the ducklings (and I went 61 days earlier this year). But today I did, to get duck and chicken food, straw, and mower gas.
On the homestead blog: some sad news this Flock Friday: a raccoon got into one of our chicken coops, and killed two of our chickens. (Don’t worry, there are no graphic pictures in this post.) #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
Flowers of the day: gladiolus. 🌱
Remember the Before Times, when people could travel? Back in 2004 Jenn and I visited Las Vegas. Check out that fancy video camera! #ThrowbackThursday
Flowers of the day: allium. 🌱
Nobody guessed the answer to today’s What’s It Wednesday question. The answer: a ChickenGuard pop door opener on the chicken coop, that lifts and lowers the door the chickens use to go to their run. #WhatsItWednesday
On the homestead blog: last night the ducks all spent the night outside for the first time. 🦆
Today we had lunch on the pond deck (with homemade sourdough rolls). Forgive the dirty table; we haven’t used it for quite some time. We really should do that more often, but it’s less convenient than just using the house’s main deck.
