Mama hen had 4 ducklings hatch on Wednesday, and unfortunately something got one of them the very next day, but here's a picture of the family in the yard on Thursday.
As I posted the other day, these are the first animals actually born here on the farm, so we're very happy to see them.
It dropped into the twenties last night and we had snow, so I had to kidnap the ducklings and put them in the stable under a heat lamp, I lured the mama in as well, so she could help keep them warm. They are all looking alive and well this morning, so I hope they'll make it the rest of the way.
Tomatoes have re-sprouted after losing 99% of them to damping off. Should probably plant peppers this weekend. Not much else on the horizon, it's depressing to see snow again, but it shouldn't last.
