Busy times at the Mellon Patch!

I have been going non stop between editing and everything else to get caught up on all the stuff that got missed last spring because of the hip surgery. Our place from the air shows we are spreading out a bit. We have 11 mature ducks, 4 mature turkey and 34 mature chickens all producing eggs. We have two age classes of ducklings some our daughter in law hatched and the tiny ones are from eggs and incubator we lent to a local school for hatching. These are from our eggs and the project was a huge success with the kids. Marisa (DIL) hatched turkeys sapphire gems and brahmas and australorps as well for addition to our laying flock. We are thinking about setting up a breeding pen for the last two birds as the demand for hatching eggs, pullets and chicks is very high.
Last but not least the new pheasant palace is complete and the wee beggars will be getting turned loose as soon as tomorrows storm is done. We started with 100 day old chicks from South Dakota. I think we are at 73 survivors. A bad circuit breaker killed the majority of the dead.
EDIT: I forgot that the new bacon seeds are planted and growing as well! This year we have a duroc and Berkshire cross.
Garden is expanded from last year and is planted and starting to come up!

Yikes! We waited until the end of the day and crept out.

The roads were still crazy icy but we made it home.

Dang! Pen 28

I had saw the empty pen in the dark and wee hours of the morning so I waited until the next day to do the forensics and reset it.

Well I never....

The fisher has 2 ears on the hide but the one is not connected to anything! Some birth defect I guess but sure a first for me.

Check out the white belly on the lynx on the right!

These are unwashed pelts so just imagine how much whiter that will be once it is washed. For sure I'll get an "A" color on it.
