100 Muscovy Ducklings.....we will keep a bunch and sell the rest. They are said to be good Mommas and good at reproducing. Oh yes and I hear they are good eats. I have eaten wild duck before and I did not like. We will see!
Turkeys are getting big. We raised 4 last year and we have 5 now. I wonder if the plucker MM built will be able to handle them? In the next couple weeks I will put together the pictures of that and have Maine Man do a post on how he constructed the plucker. Thanks for the book Angie, it was a great reference for John. It came out nicely!
Over the weekend I heard a meowing under the barn and out came this friendly, starving kitty. His name is Grislo thanks to the purple tag. It also had an out of state phone number listed. Called the number, no answer, voice mail in another language. I'm thinking this is a joke, someone dropped him off. Sure enough the owner calls back. He's from 2 towns over and has been missing for a month. As Leah said "back to his righteous owner." Don't ya love happy endings?

I will be watching for the plucker!
ReplyDeleteCute kitty. Glad you found the owner.
It's nice you located the owner of the kitty.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a ways to travel for such little feet!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, that's a lot of ducks!
ReplyDelete"back to his righteous owner" - ha! I love it. :)

:-) Hope they do well on their ongoing travels - funny about the returning cat, things do come out right sometimes.
ReplyDeleteLove happy endings!
ReplyDeleteThose ducklings are so cute! I have had wild ducks and I like them. I like farm ducks too.
I love those little ducks, baby ducks are cute but I'm not too fond of adult ducks haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the plucker worked out for you, and yes, we were able to put the turkeys in ours as well....although eric had to upgrade the motor a bit. I'd recommend it, as turkey plucking is ALOT of work!
ReplyDeleteso Grislo got back home? cute.
ReplyDeleteThose ducklings are the cutest things ever!
ReplyDeleteCute! You'll like them I think. Find yourself a really good duck recipe and you won't regret it. I swear by Tyler Florence's miso roast duck recipe. It marinates for 24 hours in a combination of orange juice, soy sauce, coffee, brown sugar and some spices and flavorings. Best duck EVER.
