Is this good?
Water rights are like mineral rights and in a place that is considered desert like, think of it like striking oil with mineral rights on your property. Guess what, my well goes dry and others around are pulling from same area that have filed after me they must let me have their water.
Being that my part time neighbor who is flush with cash has been waiting going on 3 years for a well to be drilled and I get mine first, he thought I was stupid for digging it so far away. Yeah he can go suck a wet fart cause that is as close as he will get to water.

Being from southern California, water is a requirement for me. One reason we put in a new well is because we wanted an alternative source of water. You can drill a new well now, but who knows what laws the government will pass. Water rights are life!

Fortunately, my area is not water deprived or limited. 👍

In other news we are up to 5 goslings with 3 more just born today and 7 more coming out tonight plus the 5 geese I have and about 10 more in the incubator. This is getting crazy.
Moved 5 of them to the Waddle Wattle Inn with 5 ducklings that survived a couple of weeks ago to the next level brooder box as I call it. Also got 35 ducklings waiting to go out there too.
They hatch in the incubator, stay for a day or two, move to a brooder box downstairs then after two or three weeks depending on weather, they get moved to next level to intermingle with the flock out of reach.
