❄️Winter is coming (...someday)❄️

If you are planning any holiday travel, we've got your flock covered! We specialize in chicken, duck, and other bird sitting services in the Twin Cities area. Each visit includes:

- Checking/refilling water
- Checking/refilling food
- Collecting & storing eggs
- Cleaning bedding as necessary
- Dishing out treats, scratch, grit, etc.
- Perimeter check
- Picture updates of your flock

We also offer 'supervised playtime' where we let your flock out to free range for the duration of our visit and stay an extra 10-15 minutes to give them time to stretch their wings!

Now that it's kinda, almost, somewhat autumn temperatures, we've started our help with winterizing coops. I'll post a bit more info/pics in the comments, but if this is something you'd be interested in, we will be doing it for the next couple of months.

Coops are all relatively unique, so we work on an individualized basis. Cost estimate is $75 and we service a 10-15 mile radius around our home in Richfield. If you're outside of that, but still want a hand, let us know, and we'll see what we can do!

A few pics from our open house last weekend. The ducks and Bill enjoyed the ~100 folks that stopped by and then napped VERY hard after they left.

We (Dana and Craig) are hosting an open house on Saturday, October 5th from 10:00am - 4:00pm at our home in Richfield. The event is open to anyone, whether you are a backyard bird owner, an *aspiring* backyard bird owner, or you just want to meet some friendly fowl! The open house will include things like:

- Meeting our flock of ducks (and our Polish chicken)
- Touring the coop and run that Dana built
- Seeing the difference between how we keep chickens and ducks
- Meeting (other) flock owners and learning about flock dynamics, coops, runs, and yard setups
- Meeting some of our flock sitters and learning about other local resources

I'm thinking I'll bake some duck-egg spritz cookies, and Dana will be putting together some door prizes, so we'll probably have a few other things to add to this list by the time the 5th rolls around.

My legs went limp
My knees went wobble
My head and neck
Went hobble bobble

My feet gave out
And in a heap
I slipped away
And fell asleep

In addition to Flock Sitting, we also host Duck Encounters on a seasonal basis. Groups can come meet our flock of ducks, learn about the differences between males/females and wild/domestic. Touch and pet their feathers, tour their coop, and more! Our spring dates are now open. For more info check here:

Our newest flock members Epona (left) and Tanooki (right) reading some Harry Potter with us. I told them if they looked hard enough they might find a book worm.

Here are our top 10 duck pictures from 2023. This year we took Lefse to Lake Harriet for the first time which was scary for her at first, but she ended up enjoying those short breaks from the heat and drought.

Happy holidays from our flock to yours!
