Our ducks just laid their first eggs, we found this morning. In a couple of days we shall be feasting.
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
I cam home today. My chickens grew up. I was told they caught, killed and ate a frog that came into their run. So proud
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 love the isolation. My #1 spot was Alaska, maybe if I make my neighbors hate me more then I would move there.
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.
Had a duck escape from a tote last night, and crawled into bed with us. That's was awkward. The dogs were very happy and loved that.
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
Posted 4 new videos of us finishing up boiling of the sap. Didn't get very much, but it was worth it.
We are finally down to our last few gallons of sap for boiling into syrup. Happy day. Might be done tomorrow
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
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.
TSC fixed and remedied my flock issue. Super freaking happy, unfortunately I had to reach out directly to the CEO for help. Found his email.
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.
Gotta cull the whole flock and start from scratch. Tractor supply gave us a sick chick and it spread. They wont refund or anything.
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.
Today we saw 65°, 1st time since September. Total snow accumulations was 14ft. Worst winter and it was a breeze
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
https://youtu.be/O55XijRsnc0 part 2 of tapping a maple tree. Mostly just checking taps each day, and boiling it down
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
Its all good Terry. https://youtu.be/lbzEK1OkIes gonna try for a series on this subject to show everything
