oh it won't let me attach a video?

Hey all! I got six little ducklings about a week ago and they were all fine and growing until yesterday we noticed one was pigeon toed and stumbling, and another today. They also seem to be rocking their heads back and forth. I thought maybe it was a niacin deficiency, but have been adding nutritional yeast to their food since I got them, and also I haven't found anything in my research about this head movement being related to niacin. These two stopped eating and drinking, so I've been trying to force feed them nutritional yeast and crushed mealworms in water in a dropper. I'm going to try to attach a video, they've been doing this with their heads for hours. Would love any advice or input!

I have some land in Vermont that I would like to rent to someone with a tiny house - and someone who cares about land and wants to grow on it...but I don’t have a tiny house.

Hey Anya! That sounds awesome. Where in Vermont is your land? I don't have a tiny house currently, but am looking into purchasing one by this winter, or building one which would be a longer project.

Hello!
Does anyone in the Northeast have some land with a tiny house or cabin they're renting out for some winter months? I'm a 27 year old female, have farming experience, am community and sustainable living oriented. Would love to chat about possibilities.
Thanks!!

Its easy to store like a hanging herb otherwise.

Thanks! I saw something about separating the spice from the seed? I saw elsewhere that you grind the seed as well. Do you have any recommendations?

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has any tips for harvesting, drying, and storing staghorn sumac?
Thank you

Hi Duke! Can you post some photos of the land, please?

Hi! I'm excited to find a southern VT page. I'm wondering if anyone has housing available on their land, ideally a tiny house or yurt? I am a farmer living in Western Mass right now, looking to live a sustainable lifestyle.

Thank you! I will be eagerly awaiting a reply :)

Hello! I've recently gotten into weaving rattan baskets and I want to try natural dyeing them, but was wondering if I will need a mordant for them or if I can just let the reeds soak?
Thanks all!
