This week one of our ducks, Betty, started sitting on the dozen or so eggs in a nesting box in the duck house. So we may have ducklings in a few weeks time!

But let’s start with some pictures of the chickens, the first of which you may have seen on my personal blog:

Here’s Betty by the eggs, not happy that I was peeking in at her:

A couple of pictures from the duck house cam of Betty in the nesting box:

In this one, you can see Sonja joining her; she might be laying too:

Ducks on the lawn:

Jays grabbing peanuts from the feeder tray; I put out a handful of whole peanuts each morning for them:
