Holy bejeebus, I have lots more to say about everything that's going on, but my phone is about to die so I will have to get back to here. I've got some news to share. Argh.
Good morning @windwalkingwolf ... Nice to see you back!
... back just long enough to leave us hanging: you have "some news to share". :-?
What does this mean? You have more news? Good news? Exciting news? Bad news (hope not)?

Realised too late that sparrows were attacking the Purple Martin nest. CHecked and they'd killed one baby and there are 3 left but don't know since the parents come back but seem too scared to go in.

Oh, no, @Killerbunny ! How awful. Is there any way to rig up a safe space around the nest for them?

@Jaye one of them just went back in. The safe space idea consists of an air rifle ATM because they are House Sparrows and invasive species. The SOng, chipping etc. don't seem to cause the same problem.

I had this huge post all planned out, but when I got 10 minutes and sat down to write it, fatigue hit like a hammer and as I fought sleep, that crappy vaguepost was the best I could manage. I apologize!
Sleep is trying to take me again, so I'll make this quick. Hopefully I can fill details in later.
There's a couple of news items.
Firstly, I've got some health issues going on. Have done for a couple or 10 years lol. Dr. thinks autoimmune, still hammering out exactly what. Makes sense to me.
Secondly, looks like we will be moving from the farm back to our cabin in the woods. I absolutely don't want to move, but at the same time I miss my woods and the peaceful solitude. The reasons we're likely moving I will expound upon later if I am allowed...it looks at this point like I have lost well over $50000 (and counting)and have to go to court for either the right to stay here, or my money back, or both. Not sure which yet. We've upheld our end but other party is not only breaking contract but also showing more and more that he was operating in bad faith. And he's tried to screw the wrong person. At any rate, @baronrenfrew , it's fortunate I procrastinated moving the greenhouse coops, because it looks like they may be re-occupied where they sit, before winter.

Hello everyone,

I have been learning alot about chickens and ducks this summer.

We made a video about my incubating chicks that you might like. Thank you for looking at it. Hope you enjoy it.

@windwalkingwolf , I don't even know where to start ... it sucks that you are going through such crap in your life.
Thinking good thoughts and trying to conjure up positive energy to send your way. Please keep us posting on your health and status of what's happening with your farm.
