In this video, I capture footage of the “HUGE” storm that slammed into the Pacific Northwest as remnants of Typhoon Songda made its was on land.

And the time has come for me to finally provide shelter and the much-needed protection my Muscovy Flock deserves. The hatching of new ducklings and the onslaught of fox, raccoon and mink predation has inspired me to finally prepare their palace.

Mastitis Treatment without Antibiotics

In this video, I share an update on our progress with treating for mastitis for one of our Jersey Dairy Cows. We are doing everything possible to avoid using antibiotics and so far the signs are positive.

Muscovy Ducklings; New life on the Homestead

Muscovy ducks require an incubation time of about thirty-five days. It’s a taxing and restless time for the duck as she must protect the eggs, whilst keeping them at 100ยบ for the entire cycle. Our little momma has done a fabulous job keeping these eggs protected.

Raising Muscovy Ducks and Their Behaviors
