🌱🌸 I bought Ukrainian Almond trees for our zone 6b urban farm.
Prunus dulcis 'Bounty' & 'Oracle'. 🤓
We'll be enjoying our own protein source and making almond milk in 3-4yrs 🥴
...but super pretty blooms to enjoy very soon!

We have a very power-hungry, all bidness, Ameraucana hen running the joint. Bringing muscovy ducks into the mix didn't faze her self-imposed stature AT ALL.
She's constantly chasing these ducks, and our 12lb+ drake is scared AF over this 4lb absolute cheeky FLOOF.

After 3 months of nothing, this false spring weather has kick-started the hens. All of their combs are brighter and I was just telling my partner, 'Eggs, soon.'

Currently watching my big blue muscovy drake washing his kale and collard greens kitchen discards in his water pan.🥰
I'd take a pic, but it's too far from the window view I have.
I'll see if I can catch a video of it when the weather warms.

Had to lock down the chickens and ducks for tomorrow. The ducks insist on being outside all day and tomorrow is a big nope!
Instead, they'll get treated to a big, warm oatmeal treat and fresh warm water throughout the day

I delivered ducks to the coop last night and the girls woke up to ducks. They didn't even give two rips about it. I even had peace pumpkins ready. Easiest transition, ever.
