Today the chickens were very nice. I haven’t had any issues with my main rooster for a while. He’s been friendly for the most part.

Rue has been such a good girl lately. She’s a little funny with the cats. She likes to play with them. I don’t know if they like that very much though.

These are my breeding pair of ducks. The girl duck stays with the same boy duck. It’s pretty cute how they spend there days together.

My girls are still producing some eggs throughout the winter. But not nearly as many as the summer. I got 3 eggs today which is a lot. I’ve had issues with them freezing and cracking before I get to them.

This is silver. She’s a little cutie. Super sweet and super friendly. She is so kind and loves the dogs too. She was cuddling with me and the puppies earlier today it was so cute.

Here are some of the girls that I most recently hatched. They are getting pretty big. Almost hens now. All the ones in the picture are females. I think out of that batch I got almost all hens if not all of them hens. Which is pretty awesome.

Here are my quail drinking some water. They are all so pretty. They are one of the best farm animals in my opinion :)

I got some cute pictures of Theo today so I thought I’d share. Honestly think these are the best pictures I’ve taken in a while.

Rue loves to play in the snow. She’s such a good girl. Anytime she comes to me for pets she sits :)

Lisa got out today. I’m not sure how she’s doing it. But she’s been getting out every few days. She just stays along the fence line to stay close to Marge who doesn’t get out. I think she’s jumping. She’s a good jumper.

These girls are getting older everyday. They were the batch I hatched in August, so they are a few months old. They could start to lay anytime now or it could be a few months still. We’ll see.

My main rooster wanted to be the star again. He’s been pretty nice to me since my last post. So he’s still around. If he stays good I’ll keep him. Otherwise he was out today and Zayn did try to eat him but he only got a few feathers before I saw.

Ice fishing is a pretty common thing around my area. I love it. It is one of my favorite winter pastimes.

This is Rue. I call her Rue Rue. She’s super sweet but a little vicious. Her and tuck have both completed a puppy training course and in the spring I’ll be getting them into more training. I’m hoping they turn into really well behaved dogs.

So this is tuck again. This picture kinda sums up who he is as a dog. Hes still a puppy and is a weirdo. He’s super cute and super friendly. But he’s weird. He’s a little awkward growing into himself. I’m excited to see how big he’ll get.

This is Ned. He’s been a super good boy lately. He’s very sweet and loves pets. I like him a bit more than Homer. But Homer is hard not to love

My girls are still doing good. I’m excited for when they are milking. Alpines can produce up to 2 gallons of milk per day. That’s a lot of milk in one day.

That’s my big main rooster. He’s come to the point where he is very scary and try’s to attack anytime he can. I don’t know how much longer I’ll keep him around. I’m having to do chores differently because of him. He’s getting out and he follows you and try’s to get as close as possible and if you make any sudden moves or moves in away he doesn’t like he tries to get you. He’s a good boy and he likes his hens so I don’t want to take him away. But when he’s following me around outside of his area that I don’t think is very cool.

This is one of my roosters. He’s super cute and pretty friendly. Hes a good protector of the hens and I love his little mohawk. Hes a mixed breed of chicken, so he’s definitely one of a kind

My one girl duck is laying pretty good since she started. I think she has laid better than the chickens and the quail so far.

Cuko and rue were my helpers today. They followed me around when I did all the chores. Cuko loves to follow around rue likes to follow but also play with tuck the whole time she does. They both were able to stay still for a second for me to get a picture.

I’m glad the animals handle the weather better than me. It’s super cold out and will only get colder now. My favorite thing to do right now is come inside to a nice cup of something warm when I’m done doing chores and I think I will continue to do that. It makes it better.

This is how the girls eat everyday. I love how it sounds. They are so cute. They have there winter coats and are packing the pounds. They are suppose to get a lot bigger but they seem to grow slow.

Lisa has been doing really good lately. She’s super cute and the sweetest goat I own next to ned. They are both the sweetest. No head butting signs from them ever. Both Marge and Homer have like done it in the air close to me for no apparent reason so it worries me. I don’t quite know goat body language but it felt like a threat. It’s only happened once for both of them but still scary with homers horns.

Quail are definitely the favorite animal I own. They lay the cutest eggs. Don’t make to much noise. They are super friendly and seems like they like you back.

So it seems all of my animals are getting out lately. Seems like better fencing is a job I have to do before winter for all of my animals.
2023-11-21 00:11:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Put up some of a snow fence today. It went really well. My main reason is because my driveway gets huge drifts of snow all winter long. Where they are as tall as me. I’m hoping this will help a little.

Some how Ned got out today. I decided to spend the opportunity to get some time alone with him. He’s super sweet and loves pets. He was super good and easy to put back. How he got out is a mystery, I’ll have to wait to see if he does it again and figure out how if he is. Homer didn’t get out.

This is Rue again. She is such a good girl. My favorite thing recently is playing fetch with all the dogs. I haven’t ever done it with all of them before but it’s been going really well. Only 2 dogs usually get the frisbee the others just run back and forth hoping to maybe get it one day. Rue is one of the dogs that gets the frisbee and is the only one who returns it nicely.

Chickens molt feathers. A few of my big hens have started at the worst time. Before winter. I’m worried they won’t come in before it gets to cold out. They seems to be growing them instantly though. But they look a little funky and ugly.
