Only 1 person calls me that:D
Great going wth new layers Lucky :)
I found the chook who was starting to break eggs, Spot..(of dubious parentage, she was a high school hatchling)..she’s now in a pen of her own and isn’t laying either, so I,m looking to replace her too soon.
Thanks HP:) very happy with the “Blue Rinse Set” as I am going to call them:)
Update with a photo of the rain while the storm was on:)

Some bunny antics on my blog:D
http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/
Enjoy…….
They are just so cute these baby bunnies.
very cute lucky
The “Blue Rinse” set are starting to mingle with the other hens….. mostly around meal time. Now when i go into the hen run… I boot the “Blue Rinse” set down from the nesting area……
Funs all over…..;) Animals are fed and watered….
Awww those little bunnies are so cute Lucky :)

Yeah and they go home tomorrow….waaaaaa:( sniff
I have updated my blog
http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/
With it comes a photo for VG:) of the ducklings. Also I put a link with your name to your blog as well VG:)
The “Blue Rinse Set” are introduced and a pic of my compost with a slatter bug doing it’s thing:D
those ducklings are growing in leaps and bounds, aren’t they?
the neighbour’s miniature bunny doe seems to be a permanent visitor at our place now. She is too fast for me to catch and I suspect that she pops in and out of both places regularly enough that they don’t really realise she is here. Noticed today a pile of freshly dug dirt behind the duck’s bathtub. I wonder if she is going to have babies in the hole she has dug? Guess I’ll find out in 3 or 4 weeks if I see little buns running around.

LOL, can the bunny get to your vegies for a free snack???

I don’t think so, but there is plenty of grass for her.
That little bunny has her head screwed on the right way.:) Hope she appreciates the nice foods.
they have a dog over there, so probably more peaceful here :)
Baby bunnies will be here a bit longer….. The owner’s dad was bitten by a bug or spider and is in heaps of pain…….we said not to stress about the bunnies……
They can stay here until they aren’t so busy with a swollen leg that is so painful Neville thinks he’s giving birth……:(

sad for Neville, happy for you ;)
Little babies are whizzing round the pen with Bonnie…… except for the last chicken that was born.
She was laying there gasping and so she is inside in my breadmaker box with a mess cover (keep the cats nurses out) and a light over her.
I am hoping she is just suffering from the coolness of the night air and will improve under the light I have over her.
I was going to bop her on the head, but I just couldn’t lift my arm, to do the deed.
So I am praying and hoping she will improve as the day goes by. She is so tiny compared to the others.
Little baby chicken has died:(
Lucky1 said:

probably for the best…
sounds like you have had a good hatching anyway :)
Thanks Bluegreen.
Yes, she was very tiny and wouldn’t have been a good breeder.
Lost the other little chick too.:(
I wonder if they had the same mother???? 2 smallest were lost and the 2 cross and 2 other pure chicks are just booming along.
Lucky1 said:

maybe. glad you have some strong chicks out of the hatching. when I select eggs I usually put the largest ones in (although from now on that won’t work because of the double yolkers!)
Couple of photos of the 4 little fluff bums:)

Well these last 4 are zooming… I’m grasping at straws here, but it makes sense at the same time.
So I am praying and hoping she will improve as the day goes by. She is so tiny compared to the others

This morning when feeding the ducklings, I took my camera out to snap off some new photos. The ducklings have surprised me in their colouring ups.

Great pic’s Lucky. Gee they grow quick !

I know ducklings don’t take long to grow, though they tend to look like little fluff bums a lot longer than chickens.
your babies are looking big and strong Lucky.
probably take another moult before you can be certain of their adult colours and patterns, but you can certainly get an idea.

Tomorrow I am up early…. out the back and into my vegie garden. I’ll take pics of the poor looking patch it is and as I play in each area…. I’ll show on my blog how I have changed it for the better.
So stay tuned….. we’re about to enter a new chapter in the Lucky’s Duck Farm vegie patch.
After everyone showed off their lovely harvests…..I have posted some very honest photos of my backyard…
http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com/
Time to make a move at changing how it looks.
Your little duckies (not so little!) are looking cute Lucky, I like the dark one with the white neck on the right hand side in the first photo.

Elf was stoked with the money he got for his old car radiator:D
Last night, elf and I had a tidy up last night out in the backyard.
heaps better and the back veranda under the 2 windows is much better:D
It was nice outside…. but once we stopped, we got really hot and sweaty.
http://luckysduckfarm.blogspot.com
Anyway a pic for you to see how nice it looks to the before photo I posted a couple of days ago.

it is summer i spose – but like you say – overcast without rain is torment.

Babies having their first day out:)

Going to set more than likely Oprah tonight with the plastic egg and see how she goes in the duck shed. If she sits tight in there on the plastic egg… I’ll slip some eggs under her in a few days.
I’m filthy, smelling, hobbling and as happy as a pig in mud…… until I get dragged away from my garden…… just had to burn off a disk for the bimbo……
Garden is starting to look more FAB TAB here:)
off again….
Back again……. My ankle is caning too much and needs a rest… couple of hours and I’ll be back out there.
Give it RICE Lucky.
Raise it, and rest it.
Put some Ice in a towel and put it on for 20-30 min.
Put on a compression bandage.
You should keep off it, you’ll only make it worse and slow the healing.

heaps has been done today out the back

Lots of photos of what we got up to…… Including the fur supervisors while the elf cleaned our BBQ. They sat on the stool watching us play outside, through the rumpus room window:)
your capsicums look alright.
i just forked over some ground – what i thought was good ground – but still hard and fairly dry. i can appreciate that your prep could have been difficult with a sore angle.

Thanks Pepe…. I am hoping to try my hand at roasting and preserving some this evening. Picked a few red ones for trying out the idea of it.
Yes with the lack of rain the ground has hardened and his not very forgiving when putting a garden fork into the area.

Here’s what we did yesterday. This is the wall of my shed. I planted honeysuckle and fuschias along there last year. We put the lattice up yesterday and now the honeysuckle has some where to climb.

I remember once I gave one of my ducks a huge slug – it was so big I think it must have got stuck because she spent about 10 mins drinking trying to wash it down.

2 families are interested in the ducklings, so I have moved them to the bigger run, as they will be with us for a few more weeks…before the people can come and see the ducklings.

All 9 ducklings and yep, you guessed it…. Twinner in the back ground. That duck so needs to get a grip and let her kids go.
especially when they are twice her size :D
heyas..back finally and resting.
Spot ( chook) was put down, she had muscle wasting and at 6 year’s of age .. and I wasn’t prepared to spend $$$ to find out what was wrong.
I’m seriously tired and headachy so it’s off to lay down for a while.

that chinese beef looks yummy, and easy to make too.
about your capsicums, did you put them in the fridge or in the cupboard? I think this method is not a way of keeping them, but just a way of serving them, and has to be kept in the fridge. Sounds like yours started to ferment.

Popped up some photos of my garlic chives I got from pepper last year:) Also how big and fat my garlic cloves are….

Also what my garlic bread looks live and how I toasted some.:)
http://garden-to-plate.blogspot.com/
Lucky that garlic bread looks lovely . And.. if you get enough garlic bulbs to fill a jar , cover with extra virgin olive oil and they keep in the cupboard…the oil is great to brush on steak too :)
I have garlic bulbs in oil for a year and they are yummo.

No you dont have to do anything to the garlic bulb’s Lucky, just peel em and pack in a sterile jar , fill with the EVOL ,and yes you can use the bulb’s as you would normal garlic, and no they wont ferment and bubble.
The oil would actually be great to brush on your garlic bread too :)
I use the garlic bulb’s in oil to push slivers into lamb for roasting, and the oil to baste.
I want to know what bread maker you have ! Does it have a timer ?

They can. It’s something to do with being low in acid. Same goes for bottled mushrooms.

I’d be keeping them in the fridge. I am sure someone on the old forum a long time ago said that they can be a source of botulism otherwise…
They can. It’s something to do with being low in acid. Same goes for bottled mushrooms.

after reading that I shall always put the garlic in jars in the fridge , go re read my food safety books and kick myself in the backside for not doing so !
