Hello. Hotter than Hades here. :barnie I hate heat.

I candled my muscovy eggs, I ordered 6, they sent 8, and 7 are developing. I didn't need that many. We will see how it goes, his may end up with a Christmas duck dinner. My oldest hen is stubbornly sitting on 2 eggs, so I will let her go for now. I'm not sure if they are fertile or not, but for now I haven't the heart to break her heart. I believe she's around 12 years old.

My broody didn't get up for me to see if anymore hatched, and it was too hot to mess around with her.

I wish it would stop raining every few days. We need to get our hay cut and baled.
 

chickens really

I'm sure your all familiar with Annie Oakley the woman that could out shoot men?..I'm going to be Shanny Oakley and shoot the 20 Crows that took over my property...:lol:..:gig. I'm serious too..I hate Crows..:rant
I had them snatching chicks out of under broody hens in the yard one year. They would come back every spring to look for more for like 10 years. They are obnoxious birds.
