A newly hatched Muscovy duckling ❤️
Muscovy ducks/ducklings looking for a new home. Great personalities, great foragers..
Rainy Saturday in Marathon, farm chores to do, including letting my muscovy's out of the duck hut. I got 5 eggs from them yesterday!!
They love to greet me when I come home from work.. ♥️♥️
Ernie my Muscovy drake is free ranging today, and enjoying all the crickets and bugs out in the pasture. The ram lambs are doing well, Ken moves them into fresh grasses every few days.
This morning Ken moved both layer coops for me, and I took down and reinstalled all the poultry netting around them. The chickens are certainly enjoying fresh ground.

Also available, Muscovy ducklings..
My Muscovy ducklings are doing so well! I wasn't sure how the hens would be with them, but no worries.. Momma Gertrude does hover over them ❤️
So far Gertrude has been a phenomenal momma, all eleven ducklings are doing well. Ernie tho is not allowed in the duck hut. She's taken them out in the grass, and they are enjoying the rain water in the ditch.
Two of the red winged blackbirds hatched, and they are growing!!
Thankful for the greenhouse in the winter ♥️☺️
We go from 'summer' to winter just like that! Cortland county, high elevation ❄️❄️😁
Big day for my eight week old pullets.. their first day out of the brooder trailer.. getting used to the ramp and electric fence.. and getting down onto the grass.. such a pretty group of layers ♥️♥️
Gertrude comes off the nest a few times a day to get a drink, eat some food, and to preen. Ernie is out more often and is always on guard. 21 days til first duckling hatches!!
