Hi everyone! My name is Brian. For those who don't know me very well, I am the type of person that when I have an idea, I like to take it to extremes. So after very little debate, I decided to try my hand at raising a few Pheasants in my yard. Mainly for conservation reasons, but also because I thought it would be fun. So with that simple idea, I ran with it a little, and figured that if I'm already going to be rasing pheasants, then whats the difference if I raise some chickens and plant a garden. This blog is going to be a continuing documentation of my back yard farming adventure! Hope you like it, and if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask!

Ducklings 1st swim
Yesterday I decided to try and let the Ducklings do some swimming. Using a 13X10 cake pan I had, I filled it with warm water and placed it in the duck coop. It only took a few minutes for them to realize what it was, and once accustomed to the water, they all had fun. But now that they know what they can do, I'm watching them attempt to get in their water dish, which isn't working, only creating a wet mess. I'm going to try and built them a separate swimming area and maybe attach it to the existing brooder.
