    Can we all agree that Katie is the BEST boss ever?! So very gracious & kind to her employees. Abigail is blessed & very fortunate that Katie & Jonathan are literally redoing their property so that she can live in it. Neutral cabinets is the way to go! Installing neutral base/bones & then allowing Abigail to paint & add accents is perfect. So generous!!!

      Yeah all should make merch out of Abigail's super cute plaid shirt she's wearing here...
      Also I can totally picture yellow towels and yellow kitchen accessories with wood and I think it might even pop the yellow more than a yellow background...
      And I know you didn't ask for suggestions about your podcast room... But I would love to see actual live fern towers... Ferns are so awesome and they make such a nice energy... Plus the oxygen... And you know ferns are just kind of like cool people... If you sense the peopleness of plants.
      And then for some reason this is popping in my head so I'm just going to say it... What about large terrariums?
      With like ecosystems in them....?
      Or aquariums!

      I want to try your wild... Sponsor.,.
      But I'm having trouble... I wanted to just put a refill in the cart one refill so I could see if I like it..
      And it won't go in the cart and I think they won't let me buy without a subscription...
      Maybe I'm seeing this wrong .... But after trying four times to get one refill in the cart.... I'm thinking I can find aluminum free deodorant easier than this...
      Do I get credit for trying?
      So if they ask you it's not your fault I did go to their website I did try to buy something.. It's not worth the frustration I don't want to have a subscription I don't want to buy a large amount It's like they won't let me buy a small amount I guess is what I'm trying to say They won't let me buy a starter.

      She is definitely a very gracious and sweet boss! I just pray it doesn’t ever bite her in the ass 🙏🏼
      I have a very close relationship with a couple that own their own business and are very much like Katie in the way they give to their employees and bring them in like family (one of their employees was called “aunty” by the boss’s kids) and it has severely hurt them severely times. I just hope nothing bad ever happens with her relationships with all the people she employs 🤗

      You will probably bond with your chickens more. You can bond with ducks but it can be difficult. You can realy bond with a goose. My aunt had a goose that followed her like a dog and she "knocked" on the door every morning for some rolled oats. A goose will protect your ducks and actually herd them. So consider a goose or geese. Good luck in whatever you choose to do. It sounds so exciting to be decorating, living on your own, and getting whatever kinds of animals you choose. Keep us updated. Pics, future decorating plans, what animals you get. ❤

    Back years ago we found a litter of puppy's in a field. They were so cute and so tiny. We thought somebody had dropped the entire litter off and just kept the mom. I had them about a week and 1 day they started fighting each other really bad and trying to kill each other literally. It was 6 of them total. They were around 4 weeks old is what my Vet told me when I took them in for shots, now keep in mind i was working for this Vet at the time.. He laughed so hard at me and said "Wendy leave it to you to steal coyote pups from their mom" We called a wildlife sanctuary and they came and got them. I thought they were normal pups😂😂🤣

    @nita952 Month ago +22

    Around 30yrs ago I took a dog from an homeless man who was beating it and instead of water he was giving her alcohol to drink. I had to put her through detox with the vet. She had a habit of jumping in people's cars if the door was open. 5yrs later we was walking and she jumped in a builders van as I was trying to get her out the builder appeared and he said that's my dog! We chatted and I discovered that he had 2 jack russels and 1 had been stolen (mine) even stranger after me just saying random names waiting for a reaction the name I chose was actually her original name. She died at 16 and I had her for 13 of those years ❤

  • @christinakeisler2234
    @christinakeisler2234 Month ago +4

    Welsh Harlequin ducks are meat and egg birds. They can lay about 240-330 eggs per year. The eggs do not taste gamey like some of the other duck breeds - for example, Pekin is a meat bird that lays gamey, stringy eggs. The Welshes eggs are great poached, scrambled, baked, etc just like a chicken egg.
    If your pen is large enough then they do not stink like chickens do. They do not need to constantly have a pool but do require a deep enough water source to cover their nostrils. That is how they swallow their food. We use a small bowl that is mounted to the side of the fence that has a float valve in it so it stays full. Lime is a good way to keep the pen smelling better as well help with bugs.
    You can order ducklings or hatch them. Kalmbach feed is amazing. Just be sure ducklings have enough Niacin growing up. Good quality feed should take care of that. Enjoy! Ducks are fun!!

  • @kimcompton7020
    @kimcompton7020 Month ago +7

    You will have to build a predator proof enclosure for both chickens and ducks. That enclosure will have to include the top. Do not use chicken wire, use black powdered coated 1/4 or 1/2 in hardware cloth that extends at least 2 feet beyond the enclosure at ground level. This will keep predators from digging under the enclosure.

    When my dog first went to live with my parents she escaped when the gate was left open. She went to the closest park and was her normal, sweet, goofy self to everyone. The family that caught her said if she didn't have a collar with a tag they would have kept her.
    Honestly wasn't really surprised, she adored people. We'd take her doggy play groups, and she'd have no idea how to deal with the dogs but would cozy up to all the people 😂. Lily was fantastic.

    I would think about adding a natural vitamin e supplement like Emcelle or the powder from bulk supplements. If they’re deficient, that could be a game changer, and I have my grey on it year round. You could also do panel tests from their mane to see if there’s any minerals or vitamins they’re missing. Even with complete feeds, it’s so easy especially if there’s iron in your water. Flax Seed from Triple Crown is another really good one. Chock full of Omega 3’s and good for things from inflammation to sparse coats or itchy skin.

    Ducks are amazing for eggs. I have a lot of people who buy my duck eggs because they have allergies to chicken eggs. Duck eggs are also more rich. So you only use about one duck egg in a recipe that you would use two chicken eggs in.
    Ducks like to make their nests on the ground, and they also sleep on the ground.
    I recommend Welsh harlequins! They are beautiful ducks, and they are very sweet and amazing layers.
    My ducks actually lay more than my chickens. I think about 250 to 300 eggs a year

Also My German rottie used to live on a farm about half an hour away. The family supposedly moved away and left her behind. A friend of my best friend found her trying to cross some train tracks and she ended up getting homed with a few people before she ended up with me.

It will be beautiful. And also, she could find plenty of chicken decor. I see way more chicken decor to buy my son and his wife than I do rooster stuff because they are chicken farmers. And yes, it is stinky!

  • @rachaelwhitfield3315

    We raise ducks and breed them, I'd be more than happy to share some knowledge with Abigail if you are interested! I will say, avoid hatcheries and tractor supply stock, they are notorious for disease and mislabeling breeds or selling mixes as pure bred. As for predators, don't forget racoons, foxes and hawks are going to be an issue as well as bears and coyote. Good luck om your adventure!! And always, I'd love to answer Amy questions!
