2 nice chicken eggs and 2 nice cream colored duck eggs today. I suspect that I missed the one duck egg yesterday because she had it buried deep in the straw. I Googled what color eggs that Indian Runner's have and what color Mallard's have. Both have cream colored and also 2 other colors. That being said, I still think it's the Indian Runner hen, Hailey Sue, because she's at least 2 months older than my Mallard ducklings.
At closing time Merlin was a huge help as always. He ran circles around 2 Rogue Red's until they got the hint. Welsh's went in last, as usual. When I stuck my head in to say "goodnight" I saw a mouse run across the back wall. The Welsh's saw it, too, but didn't chase it. I wish a hen would have seen it, mostly likely she would have chased after it for a bedtime snack. I'd rather see them in the coop than in the house. But this is a farm, and if wishes were horses.....
I picked about a bushel more cucumbers today. I looked at the butternut squash, too. The vines are still alive and there's new growth, so I'm going to wait. Some look ready, some don't. I have green tomatoes galore on the old plants and the new. Waiting for red.
