Welcome to Flock Friday. This week, I am highlighting 20 chicken-related pictures plus 12 duck pictures, along with a summary GIF of 59 candidates.

What’s a more fun way to start the week than mucking out the chicken coop:

Fresh bedding in the nesting boxes:

And a pile on the floor for the chickens to scratch and spread:

A duck interlude — Betty in the grasses:

It’s a little warmer now, but earlier in the week it was freezing overnight, resulting in a frozen waterer:

The hose wand is actually dripping water to top up the waterer, which is what caused the big icicles (and helps stop the hose from freezing):

GIF of dripping icicles (as you may have previously seen on my personal blog):

On afternoon rounds, the chickens waiting for me:

They then all rush into the new coop to wait for treats:

Thusly:

Ducks in a leafy pond:

Also previously posted to my personal blog, photos and GIFs of ducks flapping wings:

Ducks on the lawn, hunting for worms and such (I like the peek of the white gazebo in the background):

A bunch of pictures of chickens; they’re all pretty much done with their molting and feather regrowth now:

Pecking at my boot:

More pictures of ducks on the lawn (the grass is a bit long, but I’m probably not going to mow again till next spring):

Finally, the aforementioned summary GIF, with the above and lots more photos from this week:
