10/13/11 – Crooked Acres Thursday

I’m off the grid at the moment – visiting my parents in Myrtle Beach, SC where they have a timeshare. I’ve scheduled entries to post every morning at 6 am (central US time) Monday through Friday, so you won’t have to go without your daily entertainment courtesy of moi. They’re all picture (mostly cat) entries, high on pictures, low on words. Just the way you like it!

I don’t expect to be able to check my email or Facebook or anything, but I’ll probably post to Twitter every now and again, so you can check there. Be good, and if you can’t be good, take notes and tell me all about it when I get back! 🙂

Ducks. They’ve grown so much since we got them!

They’re always this close together. I don’t know for sure, but I’m thinking we’ve got four girl duckies, here. (Yay!)

Mama hen and her babies.

Someone asked what the daddy of all those babies looks like. This is him, the only grown rooster we have. He’s a big boy, and apparently QUITE fertile.

Two mamas and a gaggle of babies.

Stampeding tires a girl out.

Ducks like tomatoes too. Go figure.

Crested Golden Polish (ie, The Rock Star) is the prettiest chicken we have, if you ask me.

Not quacking yet, but he’s getting there.

Caught in the act of taking a dust bath. Doesn’t she look guilty?

Lone duck, separated from the other three.

The volunteer tomato plant at the edge of the chicken yard. It didn’t get very big (it wasn’t watered very often), but it’s still producing!

Wee baby chick.

  2. Robyn! I had no idea you were covering for your poligamist Rooster! How many of those kids are his?? Does he keep each family in separate houses ala Big Love??? Does he share himself equally or does he fancy one hen more than others???

    1. That is what I was going to say!! LOL! I had no idea Robyn and Fred had Sister Wife chickens! 😉

      Love seen pics from around Crooked Acres, so envious of your lifestyle.

  3. George and Gracie look like they are sharing secrets! Love all the pics of the baby chicks! Soo, cute!

  5. Oh my gosh. The pictures of Harlan are ADORABLE. How do you NOT squish them to death?

  6. Off grid? What is this “off grid” you speak of? ;-P Have you woken up at 3AM shaking and needing to check your email and Facebook yet?
