Our ducklings are growing and developing their tail feathers. We had a problem with one of the hens. She appeared to be in distress, unable to eat or drink and was noticably smaller than the other five. I held her while Barb gently massaged her throat. Then she fed her a vinigar/water solution from an eyedropper. Later, she was eating normally, but her crop was distended. Barb did a lookup on the web and then had be hold her again while she used a makeup spatula to put cat hairball medication in her bill. Chased it with the water solution again. The next morning, she was lively and normal. She seems to have caught up with the rest of her brood mates in size. They are now in the X-pen and are about 1/3 grown.
My Sears Craftsman GT5000 garden tractor is here! The mowing deck is enormous, and the Johnny Bucket and Plow is enroute via UPS! I am already thinking about an electric assist sleeve hitch for it to handle a box scraper and cultivator. The garden isn't going to know what hit it!
Best part of all...it appears that you will be able to get all your work done without enduring the ‘traditional’ New Hampshire MUD season...no snow; it’s a BEAUTIFUL thing (for some of us)...
Hey! I’ve been following the ducklings on Facebook and they are precious. Sounds like y’all are pretty good at doctoring too. Be sure and post some pics when you get all those implements going in the garden. I’m so excited for you.
