    A bunch of ducks and some chickens

    You've certainly had some ups and downs with your birds! Sorry about the ones you've lost, glad you could successfully rehome a couple of ducks, enjoyed reading the brooding/hatching adventures. Also the phrase "cuddle puddle" is wonderful. Best wishes with your very entertaining poultry!

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Actual temperature is minus 12. But, hey, good news: according to The Weather Channel, it only feels like minus nine. Must be all the insulation the thick layer of snow is providing. It's going to be a long winter.

    Mamma pig eating a pumpkin

    She's a girl who really gets into her food! 🐷 I liked hearing the noises mama pig makes while as she climbs into the pumpkin to strip out all the meaty parts.

    Confused by chick behavior

    Sorry, no explanation from me. I envy folks who have "super tame lap chickens." I raise mine indoors, handle them daily and have a great relationship with them when they first go outdoors (love the reference to the seagull commercial). Then, somewhere along the line, something in their heads...

    From the life of a chicken fan

    Glad that everyone is settling in! Ah, yes, everything new MUST be met with suspicion! I built a swing for Dottie, a hen who lives by herself (long story, lots of trauma) and was so proud of giving her a cool recreational toy. I removed it after she threw a complete fit, terrified by her new...

    Congrats on the dog house sale, and friendly farmers with plows! Fort Dodge, about 12 miles away, officially reported 16.5 inches of snow. I am sure I didn't get that much but still had knee-high drifts. I always try to look pathetic as I shovel snow out by the road (curses on the snowmobilers...

    Crazy Chickens Daily (hopefully)

    How long did it take Franny to properly train you? 🤣 Several of mine, tricked by late fall warm weather, began a hard molt that I'm sure they regret now that it's freezing outside. None had the reaction as your poor Jedi, however. Hope Jedi feels much better and continues to quickly return to...

    Pecky visits Santa!

    Love it; getting Pecky and Finn to cooperate with the photographer at the same time is great! That photo would make a cool holiday card. Some years ago, in a similar situation, I took one of my miniature goats to get his photo taken with Santa. Mr. Claus foolishly decided to hold Gordie while...

    From the life of a chicken fan

    That's a lot of drama with the flock! With mine, it sometimes feels as if Someone is going to have Something wrong with her nearly all the time, as if they are taking turns being sick or injured, just to test me. Nice "bathing suit" for your girl -- much smarter than how my hens get foot...

    Eva’s Friends

    Congratulations on your news!! I know you're excited and happy, but are you also at least a bit anxious? I know I would be. Of course, it sounds as if you are more adventurous than I am. Even doing things I want to do can leave me apprehensive and unsure. Going to England -- a trip I very much...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Yesterday's snow came down lightly and wasn't blowing around. I was beginning to believe this wouldn't be as awful as predicted. My hopeful optimism was short-lived. The snow continued until 9 p.m., then roaring winds took over, growling outside my bedroom windows and shaking them in their...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Tiny specks of snow began falling about 3:30 yesterday afternoon as I was putting poultry to bed early. Fine snow -- not even big enough to be flakes nor graupel -- continued to fall all night. At 3:45 this morning, I bounded out of bed (okay, more like rolled, really) and headed out to shovel...

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    I have survived both temps in the teens and shopping at Menards and Bomgaars today. I hope to also get through the predicted snow storm -- weather advisory from this afternoon to Sunday morning with up to 12 inches!

    Sad News

    Her loss will be heartbreaking -- my 15-year-old cat died in September. He was clearly fading for some time, and I still miss and remember him every day. I am sure you will always remember Widget and all the joy she brought to your life. She's lucky to have spent her many years with you.

    Golden Laced Stupid

    Loved the narrative about Bella! She may not be the brightest light on the string, but she's endlessly entertaining (that's the phrase I use to describe all my "problem" feathery critters). Long live Comedy Queen Bella! 👑
