I haven't posted a lot lately, so here's some catching up.
DW is VERY pregnant. We hit the 8 month mark yesterday. Another 4 weeks only, could be 2 for all we know.
We (I actually) are going to be sending a drake to freezer camp this weekend. It would be done already but I had to leave for a business trip. There's 2 drakes and 3 duckettes ("duck" just didn't do it for me for the females), so that's 1 too many drakes just.
The ducks are laying eggs, unfortunately they lay everywhere. In the pond, in the gravel around the pond, in the grass and in the duck house (at least the eggs are where I want them sometimes). I am waiting ti find an egg on the door step - that would be convenient.
The turkeys are getting bigger and bigger, and looking tastier and tastier. I do want to keep 2 od the 4 around for the occasional egg though and as pets.
All the chickens are doing well. Some are laying eggs, most are molting at the moment. I switched everybody to meat bird to provide some extra protien during their molt.
The quail are content in their new home in the garage. There's a bunch of males I separated from the covey. I need to select the breeders and send the rest to the freezer soon. I might do that with the drake this weekend.
