      Yesterday we had a “horse warming party” at the farm for friends to come out and bring their families and meet the animals and see the new spot.

      Quote of the day goes to 8 year old William who after meeting the horses, ducks and chickens, turns to me unimpressed and says “what other animals you got?”

                  Finally let the chickens out of their enclosure to free range with the ducks. I’m playing “shepherd”.

                  @WhiskeySandwich have you had any issues with ducks and chickens interacting? My wife has a read that male ducks can attack chickens and kill them. This first interaction showed no signs of that though.

                    Fingers crossed for no duck on chicken violence. And that looks like a pretty damn fine way to spend a morning

                      @SKT That was closer to sunset last night. It's pitch black when I leave for work in the morning these days.

                        nice @jordanscollected ! We were good for about a month i guess with them all living together with no issues. 3 female ducks, 12 hens, 1 rooster. We're def thinking the rooster killed the female duck i spoke of yesterday. He's been picking on another one of them today and we're about to quarantine him. It seems the ducks are getting ready to lay, and i think their hormones/pheromones have changed and the rooster has been aggressive and mounting and such. Since our hens are younger and behind them developmentally, he isn't into them yet, so he's taking it out on the ducks it seems. thats the current theory.

                          Popped out for a quick ride this morning while the pork got started on the Traeger. We’re hosting a small Halloween get together tonight with a movie around the fire.

                            The first Halloween work party was this weekend. Smoked pork was the center of the burrito bar. Homemade pumpkin cookies and brownies for desserts we watched a movie outside around the fire (practical magic, I don’t get tired of Sandra Bullock).

                              Allie wanted to spruce up the barn a bit. I said we didn’t need to it was fine. So we went ahead and spruced up the barn.

                              We picked up an armoire on marketplace for free and gave it a paint job. A couple plants and an outdoor rug and that’s that.

                                I will take this wisdom and apply it to my own domicile.
