Thankful for the sun shining bright and warm today. 🌞 It's been a rough week around our farm.

We've had most of our birds for over a year now, and never had any problem with predators or any other outside factors. First we lost Elvis earlier this week, then Bowie the next day, 2 of our 3 Polish babies that we just got this spring and moved outside about 2 weeks ago. Then yesterday something got ahold of one of our ducks Nap and unfortunately she did not make it. Whatever it was tried to get Yap as well, but she fought them off and survived with just a gimp leg. 🥺💪

We have beefed up our coops, set some live traps, and are doing regular checks around the barns to make sure all of our babies are safe and sound. Things like this are bound to happen on the farm eventually no matter how much we do to prevent them, but it's never a fun day to lose an animal, let alone 3 in 1 week! 💔

Here's a video of Yap eating some dandelions this morning to lighten the mood a little. 🦆🌼
