A New Derby Farm Season

| A Fall Sunset Over The Derby Farm |
A Summation of The Derby Farm Before I start Blogging Again... Or, Catching up on The Derby Farm
Lambs are born in late winter/early spring. Cute, playful, flocking.
Lambs grew up to be raggedy, loud, and boring in summer.
Lambs are delicious in fall. (I'll spare you the details.)
Lambs are made in fall when ram joins back in with the flock. Seven ewes pregnant this year!
Lambs will be born again in late winter/early spring. (Hence, the need to blog again.)
Ducks lay eggs in every season. Our ducks are always laying eggs. (Unlike the chickens.)
Ducks hide nest of eggs until it is too late to confiscate them because they are already sitting on them.
Ducks hatch out of eggs. Even after giving some away, we end up with 6 ducks.
Ducks hide more eggs.
Ducks hatch again.
We end up with 9 ducks, laying more eggs! Too many duck eggs! Anyone want to buy ducks eggs to eat? Good for baking...people allergic to chicken eggs can eat them...
Some ducks need to go. I've been threatening to eat the two extra drakes. Maybe, I will....
Peacock is finally getting the eyes on his feathers. Very beautiful.
No peacock eggs probably until spring.
Chickens have increased in number (thanks to a neighbor.) Hope their egg production increases, too.
Four chickens has gone to eight chickens.
Chickens egg colors are now small white, blue, green, and brown eggs. This is good to tell them apart from the large white eggs from the ducks.
And, big news:
Out with the old, and in with a new... ram!
But, that will be the next Derby Farm blog.
