my ducks didn’t lay all summer…one started laying a month ago. chickens never disappoint. plenty of eggs to eat and give away. they’ve all been enjoying the spoils of the mixed salad greens, which are growing like mad. i can’t keep up eating the greens.
clipped the nails of the ducks recently, as they were way too long. they’re such big sooks the ducks, so it was hard keeping them down for the clipping.

looks pretty good VG – stainless steel. light, mobile, with builtin stakes.
good price too.
this could revolutionise chook rotation methods.
