May 28th 2021. Got down in the 20s but the heat lamp and enclosure did the job.

They are several days old and they are starting to eat more and run around and ito everything.

After getting them out you have to be sure they all start drinking to hydrate and get some supplements into them.

Vacation ride on the Harley. Stopped along I70 and got a nice view of the Steam Engine. Was staying in Silverthorne a few days, it is very nice riding everwhere in the Rockies.

Ida dumping some rain on us. Had to go move some bees out of flooding so stopped to check on these guys. They are 17 weeks old now.

Week 14 update. Putting in a pond and stopping food waste. Birds are all good and there are some baby goats.

Back from working in Wisconsin and going on vacation. They have their adult feathers now and are getting big. Half way to butching time. The ducks are Silver Appleyard and the geese are French Toulouse both from Metzler Farms.

May 28th 2021. Got into the 20s but the heat lamp and enclosure did the job. Birds are happy, healthy and starting to get their first feathers. First post I uploaded the wrong video.

June 5th 2021, birds get a new home. I go to Wisconsin for Cranberry pollination every year for most of the summer. The birds get a pasture at my parents and my sister looks after them while I am gone. So this is the last till I got back in August.

This year I decided I was going to raise ducks and geese to butcher in the fall. This is the start of the fun and work.

This was second week of May

Geese like to pick at everything.

About a week old, they definitely grow fast.
