We’re going to run into the same issue, and our well is several hundred feet from our mobile home. (The well was drilled before we bought the property but was placed where the original owners were going to build a house. We put a mobile home on the other side of the property so we can still...
Hi all! Sorry I haven’t checked in for a few days. We’ve been busy with outside work (why we chose to do this in the middle of the hot Florida summer temp, I’m not sure!) and trying to prep our yard for our whole home generator/underground propane tank that’s coming this week. I’m so excited, we...
Not yet, I’m just using water as the liquid at this point but when my goats are in milk, that’s what some of the soaps will be made with 😍 I can’t wait!
Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been popping in and out trying to catch up. I've been making lots of cold process soap the last few weeks to try and sell on etsy. Our business is still down and I'm incredibly bored... and don't need more poultry! Or do I?
My ducks officially don't look like ducklings...
@Muscovy Wunda Try growing Okra! The flowers are beautiful, like a hibiscus. I have some growing now and I just love seeing the flowers before the okra forms.
Well if you insist. 😎 The last time I posted pictures he looked like this. In a few short weeks, he's become a towering giant.
This was a few weeks ago, he was hanging out in the chicken enclosure.
Patrolling the garden a week or two ago...
And this week he's been enjoying some...
Yes, we had a 6th goat. :hit Poor Zelda was killed by a bobcat. I can't wait until Apollo dog is old enough to spend his days guarding everyone outside. He's so good with all of the chickens and ducks, it's unreal. I know some say that it takes a while for most livestock dogs to be poultry...
They're spoiled brats, that's why! lol. Once they get used to free ranging all day every day, there's no going back. They have plenty of nice space and deep shade, but if I leave them in their run, you'd think I was killing them. 😒 I try to explain the reasoning, but it goes in one ear and out...
Yeah, we have a lot more chickens than ducks, so their enclosed run is 50 ft x 50 ft. They typically free range outside of the run unless we're having hawk issues, then they just stay in their run all day. They don't like it, but it's for their own good. 😂
Good morning everyone!
We finished (for the most part) our duck run this morning. We still have to go through and tweak the netting on top to secure it in all areas and cut off the excess, but we'll work on that in the evenings when it's not so darn hot and humid.
Take that, hawks!
Their...
I think I may have made the same mistake. I did the second questionnaire thing on my first go through, and I saw that show up, but I didn't think to do it the next 4 times.
I'll send you some of my Florida sand if you send some more stable rocky ground, lol. Sand drains well but if you even sneeze in your fencing's general direction, the posts are loose.
Oh wow, that's intense. I was thinking of having a similar set up on the big stock tank as the smaller kiddie pool. We'll build a deck on one side of the tank and put a large drain in with a valve. If the filter helps, cool, if not, I'll just have it drain into the garden as needed.
Has anyone...
The two runners were up there swimming before bed. Hopefully the others will follow suit soon enough! I bought a 6ft stock tank for their actual pool, but we probably won’t work on that until they’re a bit older.
Do you think I can put a filter in the bottom of this thing? Would it help at all...
Yeah, it's just super odd, lol. I could message him and explain that the ducks aren't as he says they are, but I'm sure he'd just dismiss it and block me. There's probably no point.
