I caught the Bison out for a little run this morning. It’s a nice cool day with a little rain so I think they were happy to have a day without a lot of heat. Most of them still have a lot of their winter coat hanging on them still.

Yesterday I was wondering when the ducks were going to hatch, this morning I see Mom and 4 ducklings wandering around.
Momma Duck was sitting on 11 eggs. She hatched 7 but 3 didn’t make it. There’s one still trying to get out of the shell but I don’t think he’ll make it either since momma has left the nest now. There’s another Duck on eggs still, she started a week after this one. Maybe she’ll have better luck. They’re Rouen ducks, basically mallards but much heavier so they don’t fly away. They can fly, but just short distances.
I looked out the window Saturday morning and saw Nessie swimming in the pond. Turns out it was Buddy and Joey taking a dip. I had seen them in the past in the pond but they’d only go in up to their chests. This time the were fully in swimming around and having a good time. I’m glad they’re good swimmers, I don’t know how I’d get floaties on them otherwise.
