The Muscovy drakes are becoming men so to speak. Each morning they are more and more aggressive with the females. Poor Gras Embden seems to be taking the brunt of the attention, so I've moved three of the four drakes into the penalty box.
Yesterday one of those males took flight upon release and landed in some bushes. I was not so inclined to traipse through the brush (and poison oak) to recover him. Half an hour later he found his way back.
I'm getting one egg every 4 days now. Not like the 3 dozen a week this past summer.
I have a second compost pile in progress... it has been at about 130 degrees F for the last month. It'll be good for the garden, trust me. Take all that you want!
