Alaskan's Journal

Sorry, but that looks more like a preferred environment over all the snow and crazy daylight hours .....

yep...I love everything about Alaska ... except the cold. I LOVE heat and hate cold.

Wouldn't scare me....when I was older we lived in Maine for 2yrs....after living in Hawaii for 3.....we moved in July and arrived in Aug in time to start school....it got -22° that winter with drifts 20'+.....and that was long before they came up with a wind chill factor....I was wanting to go back to Hawaii....
Oh, that is an interesting and pretty roo, never heard of that breed.

that is a crazy weather shift.

As to the roo... I must say, best personality by far. This breed has been excellent. ZERO human aggression and very good with various sized chicks. Very low aggression with other chickens etc.

OK..snow pictures. ..don't think we got 20th feet this year.... but more than enough I say.

The moose have a trail that goes past our house.

I grabbed my son's phone (The 18 year old...he got a phone for a year...gets turned off soon)...he had some great photos...

He was in Juneau, Alaska this summer as a volunteer tour guide for the small Othodox church.

So..Juneau glacier:

Back in Homer, Goats in the snow by the front door. Feta and one of her bucklings, this past spring.

On Monday, when we had an actual sunny day! The yard between the house and the duck and chicken yards. Those two tractors are used for grow- outs and are now empty. Ducks usually do NOT get to free range.

 

[Alaskan]

Way better picture of the muscovy on their free range day. I have way too many predators to free range.

The goats do free range during the day, but are locked up at night.

 

[Alaskan]

OK @Latestarter enough pictures, to start at least?

You do have some nice looking animals....and that last pic looks almost like a painting, especially once ya get past the 2 Muscovey's with the little peepers.....very scenic.....it is nice when ya can sit in the window and have dinner stop by....
