Thank you everyone. This morning I am still slightly below normal temperature wise. I feel like I've run a 5k marathon...I'm so sore and tired.

The ducks survived the night. DH says that they acted upset and cold this morning. Well that's just tough buggers for them. I won't be making any special effort to corral them anymore. They're my mom's ducks and she's been worried about whatever got the quail getting them. Well they can fend for themselves from now on if they don't come to the coop when called.

Daisy is still holding out. She was with Ranger for a week in July so she could hold out until 12/12.

Jodie - We did get a dusting of snow last night. Nothing much. Our temps outside right now feel like 20*, so I really hope the mud freezes and solidifies.

I hope you feel better soon! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Feel better. And stay safe.

Tell Dh you feel like you ran a 5k then ask for a massage, benefits it increases blood flow to your extremities and massages are wonderful and relaxing it will help you recover faster. from your friend who is a massage therapist and this is what I recomend

I'm still below normal temp and feeling chilled. Who would have thought that such a short time in the water would cause such an effect?

I figure y'all are gonna want constant updates on Daisy...right? Well she's still holding out. Anyone remember Daisy's last kidding? At least this time I know the time frame we're looking at.

Had to call the dog warden on Rufus again. Talked to the warden herself today and guess what? She's not gotten around to talking to Rufus' owners yet. Gah! "Promised" me that she'd be out today. I'm not gonna hold my breath

At my place ducks and guineas are always on their own. They do not like to stay in the safe areas and refuse to be caught. So, they are on their own. I refuse to look like a fool chasing them all over the place to get them back in only to find them on the wrong side again an hour later.

Hope you feel better soon and your goat delivery with ease.

Thanks Ed. From now on the ducks are definitely on their own! My guineas are very good now about going in the coop...they're the first ones in actually.




We're considering getting geese next Spring...does anyone know about them?

I don't own geese, but I've researched them. It seems like they can be bonded to people if bought when goslings. They can also sometimes protect your chicken/ any other flock if raised with them.

I also have geese. They stay in the fields (don't fly out). Mine are very friendly and make you aware when anyone is near that they do not know.

Do you coop them? And if you do...do they go in on their own?
