Flock Friday for March 12

· Birds · Chickens · Ducks · FlockFriday

Welcome to another Flock Friday. Surprisingly, with no pictures of the pond this time. But plenty of ducks and chickens, and even a surprise bird.

But first, some eggs — as the weather warms up, our chickens are increasing production; averaging about 8 to 10 per day currently:

We’ve resumed giving them away to delivery folks, but are still drowning in eggs; we need to eat them faster!

The ducks have been more adventurous; here they are amongst the flowerbeds:

Almost to the field! Yes, I need to mow the grass; I’m planning to do that today, for the first time this year, if the mower cooperates.

Here they are on the back lawn:

A surprise bird in the storage area of the chicken coop; it must have flown in when I opened the door. I managed to encourage it to fly out again:

This morning while having breakfast, I was surprised to see the ducks on the driveway; they turned around pretty much straight away — no worms to eat on the asphalt:
