How are you going to make elderberry wine if the lambs et the bush?
It is nice that they are helping with the raised beds.

I am a big fan of Jacob sheep. I love their spotty colors and horns.

The lambs were rambunctious this afternoon lol
I posted one of the older ones and my favorite from today in POW.
They’re doing so well. They started doing a lot more actual grazing now rather than just playing and barely nibbling.
It’s nice to see things finally starting to green up a bit now too!
Not the best pic (I didn’t want to get close and disturb her) but I have a broody duck that started sitting a day or two ago. I gave her a few more eggs yesterday since she only had three, so now she’s on nine. She’s a year old and this’ll be her first time brooding. I really hope she sticks it out!
I finally got the second layer of garden done yesterday and built the frames for the ‘salad bars’ I’m planning to give the turkeys and ducks.
While I was out there my tom, King, was gobbling like crazy and I was starting to get annoyed when I figured out why...There was another tom gobbling at him! A wild one that was way back in the bush! I didn’t see the wild boy, but it’s kinda cool knowing there are some wild turkeys nearby

They were definitely going crazy! Racing back and forth from me to their shed and back again, leaping everywhere...
It was definitely fun to watch and try to get pics of!
@Bruce If it makes you feel better, it hailed and we had some freezing rain this morning!
Tomorrow I go pick up all the chicks DH ordered and my Pilgrim goslings and hatching eggs. It’s going to be a busy weekend getting everything organized! As it is I spent most of this morning cleaning pens and shifting all the brooder babies around so I’ll have space for all the new ones. My oldest ducklings should be okay without a heat lamp at this point, so they have a shed to themselves and will be going outside to a grow-out tractor as soon as it warms up again.

Much better, thank you! We had a small amount of snow overnight Tues into Wed. Way better than what the people in Minnesota and Wisconsin got.

Your lambs are so cute!!! Oh my goodness, I can hardly handle it!! Great shots by the way!
Your ducklings are adorable. I understand on wanting to keep all birds in one location. I've got three separate areas right now- my main coop, chick coop, and naughty hen pen (broody bantam hen flew out of her pen and got caught by one of my feral cats. Grrr...naughty bird and naughty cat!!!). I'll be very relieved when they're all able to be together.
