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.

Soft Pig Snuffling

Racey and I woke to a relatively unfamiliar sound in the middle of the night this weekend: the sound of heavy rain. We got up and closed a few windows as occasional gusts of wind dampened our window sills.

Remember that Album?

Last year in May I mentioned in this newsletter than we recorded an album. Many of you have asked about it over the ensuing months, and we are proud to announce that we finally have a final product to share!
