Life in the Duck 'n' Buck Yard | Chickens in the Road

;

May
5

The ducks and bucks are getting along swimmingly. Mostly by ignoring each other, but that’s to be expected.

Any time you put animals in a new enclosure, they set right to work showing you all of your foibles. Within the first couple of weeks, the bucks showed us a few places where they could push under the fence and get out. Fixed. Then the bucks showed us that they could tear down the chicken wire along the field fence that keeps the ducks in the pond yard. Fixed.

I hope they’re done showing us stuff!!!!

They are just lulling you into a false sense of security. When you least expect it…the happy campers will introduce you to some new and wonderful activity…

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I'd like to offer a little hope - it's very possible to make a fabulous loaf of Grandmother Bread in the mixer! I've made this bread once a week for the last two and a half years in the mixer, and ca... - Amy on Bread 911!
I use my stand mixer for bread making. Usually I run it from more than 4 minutes. I start out with a slack, sticky dough, it firms up and then can relax again. So it usually takes 6-8 minutes at least... - PaulaClark on Bread 911!
I'd check the yeast. Proof it to make sure it is alive & well in the warm water & sugar. Wait to add salt with the flour as salt might kill the yeast without the buffer of the flour. Temperatu... - Amerayl on Bread 911!
