You are going to eat the ducks just for laying eggs?
Lol

I am NOT allowed to eat the ducks. Only thier eggs. My gf says those are her pets unfortunately.

Congratulations! Maybe the production company will hire you as a consultant. You will be the Howard Hill of shepherd slings.

That's awesome man congrats can you post some pics of some or do you have some on here already if so point them out please would love to check them out,hope all is great up there with you and yours

@Big Ron thanks, i did make a post about it and tagged you in it. We are doing well. Been prepping for winter. Cutting firewood, and my job are my current hobbies right now. Lol

Something like that would be built to last forever

Yeh,i need 2 parts to finish it up.mi do need to replace the legs those were broken

.....yet! LOL

I thought the same, but my life is pretty boring.

Well its been a few days, and i am still alive

You think those frogs were after the Cackleberries??

Probably not, since the chickens are only 6 weeks. I think it was just a wrong place wrong time. That equaled death for the frog

I wish, ours haven't even gotten out of the ground yet

Mine will have withered and died by then.

Its unusually a late start to spring this year. Plus it's our 1st one ever

A place with snow in May is no place for me!

I love the isolation. My #1 spot was Alaska, maybe if I make my neighbors hate me more then I would move there.

I am sure the nearest bike store is over an hour away maybe, I am relatively remote.

Do you shoot 6mm ammo? If you do, I'll send you some. You can PM me your address if you want. I've got a huge jar and pretty much limitless supply. I've been trying to shoot it all up in one day, but I think it's impossible.

No I do not, I mostly shoot 45 cal, or bbs, I go from one extreme to the other. I appreciate the offer though.

So you are Ryan the homesteading chicken and duck farmer ;-)

For right now until I expand. But most for self sufficiency. While making some extra income

Unfortunately I am not allowed to eat these ducks, my gf has more pets. If I want to eat any, I have to buy more. These 3 are off limits

Too bad it wasn't a chick!! : )

Lol! Ducks gone wild! Sounds like a @honorary pie adventure.

About 93% looks like today or tomorrow all will be gone, from the rain. We do have extensive flooding due to rapid melting, it's crazy. Now it's the start of another maine season.MUD SEASON

does the sap spoil if you don't boil it right away?

Yes, it usually is a couple of days if left above freezing. Which we got lucky, so much snow we been collecting, piling and sticking the buckets in the snow, while we boil to help save it, and it worked.

I agree, I think it was mostly the local store and them being morons. The person in dealt with in the ceo office, was very high ranking. He was devastated with what happened. I am very glad, they went way beyond what I was expecting them to actually do. Almost 3x more then what I wanted.

Flock? Like flock of seagulls ?

Chickens and other birds. But I did like a few of their songs

Here is an update, I spoke with the CEO office, his assistant or something along those lines. I sent the email at 6am, cuz I was at the laundry mat in town. Well 915am, their office contacted me, I ended up sending the same email to every executive officer and their board of directors. My email was widely circulated through corporate, and causing a stir.

They even are in contact with everyone involved. Buyers, the hatchery. But they will be refunding my money, and if I want to from what i understand, replace my flock for free.

The local store, people are stupid, but corporate was great. They are very concerned due to all their chicks are infected, and it's a possibility of it spreading in my area. Plus if my dogs or we get sick, I will be talking to them about covering it.

65???? Dang, we haven't even hit 50 yet! : (

It was short lived today will be only in the 40s. The worse thing is the snow melt now, everything is coming g unburied, and its starting g mud season up here

Everyone is staying inside for the time being. The chicks and ducks are only 2 weeks old, they wont be out in the coop till msy

That is alot of snow. Hope you and everyone there is safe.

Thanks, so far our 1st winter in maine. The total is roughly 160 inches. This will just add on

Got 3 ugly ducklings

Beauty is only a light switch away boys!

All ducks are pretty especially a Peking Duck

Its actually very fun. I get a ton of enjoyment out of this activity. That's the worst part, is how much. I am hoping to get maybe a gallon, of syrup, but I can dream

Tough work. Bee vomit is so much easier.

Hopefully in a year or two that would be the next adventure I take on

Hell yeh
