Kit Kat & the Ducklings

posted on

July 1, 2025

We had a wonderful visit from our cousins William and Kora this week. Lovett showed off her ducklings and Kit Kat was not to be left out.

Look how big the ducklings are now! The one adult mallard has taken to the group like the best of mothers. Showing them around the farm and leading them to the best shady spots and of course where to find a good puddle after it rains.

Racey has been more involved in the brooder this week as we play detective. We are trying to figure out why some groups of chickens do not grow as well as others. Racey has a masterful sense of animal groups so she has been doing chores in the brooder this week.

Here you can see her playing "mother hen" as she scratches at the feed, encouraging the chicks to peck and eat.

Planning Ahead

This week we welcomed some new faces onto the farm, bring out total pig count to a record breaking 62 animals. I mentioned this winter how we were beginning the process of bringing our pork all the way to Certified Organic, which for us means having the baby piglets here on the farm.
