WVDuckchick's BYC Pond

[CTKen]

Morning Pondites! I conked out early last night after my early day at the school.

Today I plan to get my coop framed. This time, I will actually take the darn measuring tape!

Other good news, I already have a bite on the rabbits. Hopefully they'll sell quickly so I'm ready with the space in case I do find something I like at the rabbit show. Looks like they plan to have an auction there, so I'm betting I'll leave with some bunnies.

Good luck with both the coop stuff and yer potential bunnies!

Good morning.
Wow was I tired yesterday.
I used to go days on end without sleep.
But haven't done that much in the past year.... Let me tell you it caught up with me bad.
Missed everything here yesterday.... Sorry I was just too darned tired to participate.
I had RAV post a pic of my new ducklings....I know it's not a great one cuz of the heat lamp and I don't know how to turn flash on.... On the camera I'll sit here and figure that out and get a better pic of the 2 little webbies.
Drs out me on real glacoma meds..... Seems pressures are up and I'm starting to go blind.

Also guys.... Did I missed anything important yesterday?

So.... On my way home from the Drs yesterday We didn't go our normal route.
Usually we just cut through the woods it's about a 75 mile ride and it's nice but we wanted to get lunch and you don't go through any towns that way.

Instead we drove to Escanaba because they have a nice Asian Buffet place. Iron Mountain does too buy because they are Central Time zone they weren't open for another hour.

Dang it if I didn't get nailed for speeding.
The thing is the speed limit on US 2 was just raised to 70 ..... But not on the section I was on..... But I wasn't speeding on purpose anyway I wasnt paying attention to my speed cuz I couldn't find a speed limit sign anywhere and I was bxtching to the wife about that when the cop caught me

 

[Littlelakephil]

That was the first ticket I've gotten in a long time too.... I've been pulled over plenty but for some reason cops let me go.
Allot.... My friends used to tease me and tell me I should right a book in how to get out of tickets..... Problem is in not sure why.
Except that I'm always friendly..... Always admit fault and always use the word I'm sorry when admitting fault.

So since all the byc peeps have discovered the quiet corner I've been hiding in... Our flock has grown/changed so much over the last year. I used to do a lot of hatch alongs with @Sally Sunshine and @MikeLM .

I am on a hatching ban... We've got about 35 to 40 standard chickens, about 15 bantams, now up to 12 ducks, we have 5 turkeys and 2 geese, but 2 geese we gave to a friend are coming back this weekend because they do not like their daughter. She's taunt them, then run from them, and they finally caught her. Yet their other kid was fine with the geese.

We've slowly been working on the fencing around the property, very very slowly lol. We also expanded to rabbits which is why I've been hanging out here. Been breeding them and showing them. And cleaning lots of poop. And saving what we can to try and build a barn/shop for the rabbits and goats we're going to have eventually.

Then in other news my daughter has a summer job this year, and my son has been super helpful with all the chores lately... They're growing up so fast..

So I just candled the AC eggs.....I seen to have good fertility. I only did the front dozen today. I didn't want to leave the cover of to long at once. I'll d do the back dozen tonight..... And you all know I'm kinda hands off anyways.....I just like to check them a couple times.
Plus I'm not great at knowing what I'm looking at. I thought my last hatch was gonna be a dud..... And all the eggs hatched.
