I let the new ducks into the pond today. This is a couple of clips of their first swim.

I put a handful of raw whole peanuts in a tray for the wild birds every day. The Steller's Jays and Scrub Jays love them, hardly waiting for me to leave before diving down and grabbing one or two. They take them elsewhere to open and eat; we find peanut shells under trees all over the homestead.

I recorded this video to show ChickenGuard's customer support the issue I'm having with the opener on my new chicken coop (three years old, to be fair). It is having a door jam error when closing, requiring recalibration, but works once done, until nighttime when it is supposed to close.

I thought others might find it interesting too, to see how the coop pop door opener works, and the innovative way I have it mounted on a door so I can access it from inside the coop, and have the cord go straight down from the opener to the pop door.

I just refilled the hummingbird feeders, so the one by the house was still swaying, but that didn't put off a hungry hummer. Plus more on the other feeder.
