Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Coffee is ready. Tussling with myself on doing more chickens today or waiting until Monday. I’m really ready to be done. But I’m really tired too. I have a little angel chicken on my shoulder saying wait until Monday, let them live another few days. And a little devil chicken on the other shoulder saying, slaughter them all now!

Beautiful day out -- 60s going to mid 80s

Want to get out there. Finishing coffee. Gonna walk a fence line to be sure it's good, then move goats for the day! Yeah, when going to a new field THEY check fence line and test it too. Just in case it's their wanderlust genetics.

I’m sure it was that delay in their shipping. When they send you replacements, I hope the weather (and everything else) is favorable.

Ducks went from laying 9 eggs a day to 1 (no they aren't molting), all 40 ducklings are dead, none of them made it. Couldn't get none of them to eat or drink, went to bed with 5 still alive to find them all dead by morning.

That’s awful. I’m so sorry about your baby ducks.

Angel chicken won the debate, they can live a few more days.

Worked outside all morning, called it quits about 2pm, knew the sun was going to give me a headache if I pushed it.

While sitting inside, cooling off, this fascinating video popped up on my feed, demonstrating English "hedging". They used the hedgerows as fence between the cattle and the crops.

What a senseless waste of life.

Egg laying issues may well be from the erratic weather where you are living. My hens react to certain extreme patterns and they can feel more of the atmospheric pressure than we can. A consideration.
I agree with others, the shipping transport delays had a lot to do with the ducklings mortality.

Sorry you lost your birds @Weldman.
