A duck got hurt on the bottom of its foot so I made a wrap to help heal it.

We had a duck get sick and then another one a couple of days later. I quarantined them both in the duck tractor to isolate the pathogens from spreading. I gave them fresh garlic water and freshly smashed pumpkin for about a week and they got better. YAY!!!

This is my T-Rexy. I could tell him to jump and he'd land on my arm, every now again I'd let him get on my shoulders and head to be funny.

This is Bean. We could tell she was getting broody and I kept not finding her eggs. Well one day she wasn't hanging with the rest of the flock and Brandon found her spot. How funny is that, a duck who laid her eggs in a frog! Buahahaha! She's got a couple of weeks left and we'll see what happens!

That was where she liked me to put her fresh treats. It was very cold that morning, so cold that the pan was frozen...I'm sure you can guess what happened to the kits.

I went out to check on the Bunnies and I saw something odd on the buck that scared me!    I thought it was a tumor that just came out of nowhere! Or a really bad cut! Or hemorrhoid or something! Check this next picture out and you'll see what I mean.
