Here’s a recap of February. Not a lot got done for obvious reasons!

The snow hung around for a couple weeks and we hauled water to the ducks and goats. Not fun! I see installing a frost free hydrant near the wee barn in our future.

Farrah, one of the older ducks was treated for Bumblefoot. Sounds amusing, but isn’t. It’s like an abscess on the bottom of her palmate (foot). We soaked her foot in a combination of epsom salts and Betadine for two weeks.

Only one goat ventured out at first.

Once the snow melted, the ducks needed three water changes before they felt “just ducky!”

Finally, the snow melted and we had torrential rain for three days. The ponds, which were dry by mid-January, filled again. Happy ducks!

February was all over the map with snow and rain. Some things though are constant: chores.
