Springtime is in full swing at Livin’ The 10. The other day, Melissa and the kids took some cattle panels that we were no longer using and built a mobile paddock for the ducklings. They absolutely loved being outside chomping down on the mallows.
To get the new flocks accustomed to each other, we put the chicks in tractors near the ducks, with some shielding from the rain.
In addition to new chicks and ducks, our female rabbit had her first litter. Unfortunately, one died after a few hours. Two of the remaining three died later that day. The fourth lasted a couple of days, but also died. Such is life on the farm. But we’ve learned some valuable lessons about caring for rabbits, and we should have another litter in a couple of months.
