The culprit is a red fox, saw it yesterday evening around the same time the 7 were killed. I shouldnt even say Im the one that saw it out dog Shadow did and he chased it off. My dad and I are going to work on trapping it this weekend.

In other news I had my first driving practice and it went awful. I had a panic attack after five minutes and I couldnt make it out on the main road. I mean the guy wanted me to drive to the MVC when I have never done so before. I understand it is all a learning experience but I had no intention of hurting innocent civilians. My three hour lesson was about 5 minutes. I honestly hate driving

In some happier news we took in two new ducks yesterday, they are so super cute. They are rescues from upstate, both are females and they are muscovies. Their names are Cheese and Quackers and they are super cute!

So today I worked on finishing the border on the duck pond. I worked for about 3 hours and got a good amount done. I think I might order a duck x-ing sign to put in/near the pond.

Here are pictures documenting the progress, the part to the left with stone is the original pond border, it just never got finished.
This is before you could tell anything was happening.

Progress, you can see the pekins were moving in where I was working

That's all I managed for today, but I hope to finish tommorow

ETA: Schools over until fall, I will be going into my junior year

Yup both girls, they are loud when you pick them up too. Not as bad as the pekin hens which quack so frickin loud for no reason lol.

Super excited! Tommorow we are getting new birds. We are trading 6 of our roosters for layers AND they also agreed to let me trade my pekin drakes for some female ducks. One happy chicken mama right here :weee

Also this is the farm I bought Rosie and Clover at. Its funny I was thinking and I realized that the sheep technically belong to me. Reggie was my brothers sheep and he bred rosie. Rosie and Clove were my birthday present after mammy passed. So Any offspring from them are mine. And since Ras is rosies son and he was bred back to Her and Clover, their offspring are mine as well lol. Me being a possessive sheep mom :confused:
