Crow










This morning I noticed a crow in our alternate chook run where our 2 new ducks are living. It seemed a bit odd and on closer inspection it was unable to fly.
After catching (using my fish net) I noticed a large tick embedded in it's neck.
This has been removed and we are keeping it for a few days in the chicken tractor
to see if it survives. It is eating grain quite well this afternoon and seems healthy enough.

Some produce : Kohl Rabi Cabbage and Broccoli. One of the cabbages has split.

Fennel in flower and a Brassica sp (not sure which one) that the native bees are
loving at present.
