No poisonous snakes in my neck of the woods. The occasional egg eaters, but not too many of those either.
Speaking of snakes, saw a really gorgeous royal python at the zoo yesterday!

My favourite!

Here’s the comparison between a call duck and a “normal” sized one...no way is he getting her eggs fertile :lol:

A blanket/throw I’m making. It’s not as perfect as I’d like, but it’ll have to do as I’m not prepared to take it all out :p

DH’s OEG hen, now officially named Zazzy, is also now officially broody. This is an older pic because trying to get a new one was too much trouble with the mosquitoes eating me alive while I was trying to hold the lid open and my phone at the same time!

A very pretty picture (IMO) of Sidepiece :love

Got a good amount of work done outside today in preparation for the rainy forecast. DH also helped me get a small grow out tractor built (finally!), so I’m really happy about that. It’s about 2x4’ and big enough for day trips and for just-off-the-heat-lamp babies.
I’ll get pics of it in action next time we have a nice sunny day when I can get some of Zazzy and Mojo’s (incubated) chicks outside :D

Yep, I sure will :D I just need at least one more. A bigger one for my bigger grow outs...like my turkeys! I have the wire and plywood, just need some 2x4s or 2x2s to put it all together. I would’ve done it already, but I’m a terrible builder! It frustrates me to tears at times. I can help, but a solo project takes me forever. DH on the other hand is so skilled and can get it done so fast! He just takes forever to start a project. He always comes through, just not always as quickly as I’d like :p

We just had a bit of rain in the morning, sunny and I would say beautiful if it wasn’t so humid now. The new tractor is now full of littles :weee

Queen seriously needs to make up her mind...I pulled 19 eggs out of their pen yesterday and put them in the bator. I don’t hold out much hope that they’ll be fertile as the last batch wasn’t, but we’ll see.
If they are and Queen stays on the nest for once, I’ll give them back to her.

Easy answer: You start it and he'll "help" by finishing it ;)

I certainly think so :D Though I couldn’t help but notice the lawn is in desperate need of a good trim. The lambs do their best, but I’d need a dozen to make a dent in it! (No plans for that happening. Ever. Two-three, plus whatever they produce next year is plenty of sheep. As it is, I’ll be sorely tempted to keep any ewe lambs they may have :p) I can hardly believe they’re 4 months old now! Time flies when you’re having fun.
I mean, just look at the size of my geese :ep

In other news, my broody Zazzy is sitting on 8 eggs total. I’m curious to see what she hatched out. After all, these

are all hers.
How she and Mojo

adorable little calico baby, I’ll never know. Actually have two of them from the pair, so far, plus that little yellow downed baby who has black feathers coming in :hu At least the older one like that is turning out black and white rather than more solid black.
So interesting. That’s the thing I like about mutts, they’re full of fun surprises :D =D
