Ducks come marching home
Video – We put a camera on the ground between the pond and the pen. Each night before sun set or when a storm darkens the clouds, our flock of ducks heads to their night time home. The pond is maybe 100 yards away from the garage. The flock seems to know that predators come out more at night. That or they’ve figured out we put the vegetable and fruit scraps in there after a long day of canning. So, usually without any prompting, they come waddling home… quack quack waddle waddle quack quack
Box Turtles vs. Tomato
Video – When we started free ranging our critters, we knew they would raid the garden occasionally. With the acceptation of the four-legged critters, they are more than welcome to do so. After all, the ducks and chickens might take a bit of our produce now and then, but they more than make up for it in pest control. What we didn’t expect was that the different critters would conduct cross species raids.
