@Chasingsunsets  They are a new breed from Tasmania called Quamby. Good for egg as well as meat production. And really cute looking.

Sadly the mother duck with 11 lost 10 on last count, the one with 9 lost one, and the one with 8 lost 3. We have had a wedge tail Eagle around, as well as Hawks and Crows. It looks like teir young have been well fed.☹️ So next year they can come and get some more.😫

However we can see that it are the young mums loose most of their babies. The other two mums have become far more careful now, and hug the shore line and tree shadows, apart of the mother who has only got 1 left of course. We are surprised she still has one. 

Nice looking chicken

Hey @DownMoreThanUp ! 

Oh those Quamby look like a good breed of chook! 

Omg bad day for the mumma ducks and the poor mum who lost 10 in one night, crazy hey!! Those eagles and crows know how to catch there food hey! Geez! I hope mumma with the one ducking left can manage to keep that one!! Poor mumma!!

thanks for sharing the new bread of the ducklings you have!! When will you know if you have males or females or you already know?

im off to sleep now but ill make sure to check here when i am next on tomorrow 😊, I hope you have a good night 🙏

[Chasingsunsets]

Hey @DownMoreThanUp you have me wondering on your chicken count, hope not too many lost 🙏🙏

How was your day today? 

[DownMoreThanUp]

The Geese lost one gosling today, one mother duck still has the 8 ducklings she had yesterday, the other one has 4 now, we have not seen the one who has 1 left today.

Yes we have nature all around, all feed of each other out there. We have a  lot of birds of prey, all with young themselves, so the mother ducks have to take caution or her ducklings are in trouble.

At least our ducklings are save from foxes, the wild ducks, and the wild Australian hen, have them also to cater with. They have only got 4 max, usually less young, left of their brood before their ducklings reach 2 months old.

It does look nice seeing a wedge Eagle, Hawk or Falcon dive down, but when it our ducklings that our thinned out it can hurt at times. 

Unfortunately i had a hard day today but staying on top of it so far. i need sleep its been three really bad nights, last night the worst. i always struggle when sleep i hard to get by.

Wild hen.

@DownMoreThanUp sorry to hear you had a hard day, fingers crossed you get some sleep and the weekend improves! Love the pics of the quackers and hissers! They're ducking cuties!

[Chasingsunsets]

lol @DownMoreThanUp I meant ducklings when I said chickens lol last msg 🤪

oh no a gosling gone too, you definitely do have so much wildlife and sitting with them or by your water fountain I hope can ground you at times.

I hope you can get some sleep soon 🤞

[DownMoreThanUp]

@Chasingsunsets Yes nature does ground me big time. Our Creator has so much to tell us through what He made real. For nature shows me death in a way that is not destructive or bad, but always serves good in the dying.

i have been trying to apply the same principles in my life. For, i now learned to think, what does it matter if in my daily reality, i with in my Eagle Eye (sharp eyes) see rodents, those small dirty or scraggy times in my life squirrelling around, and then see myself swoop down within myself for the 'you know what' within myself. For within my inner world of being everything outside is the same inside?

Why not enjoy seeing yourself in your Eagle self catch such life within, instead of agonise your loss a rodent? When you know there are always tons of those rodents around in your life anyhow? And why would i agonise the Eagle unless i am make myself a rodent? 

Just some of my daily meditations. Watching life in action the Ying and the Yang my reality is when i  see life in what i consider 'right and wrong', yet without any lies ruling it, and that truthfully therefore everything is FINE? For i know when i d,o not eat from that fruit called 'that is right and that is wrong' when there is nothing wrong happening only me thinking lies like that, i always get more right around instead of the other way, RIGHT within my inner world of being!😁

 Isn't that MINT to know suffering a mental illness?

There is a time and a place for all things under the sun.

[Chasingsunsets]

That’s true @DownMoreThanUp a bit brutal at times though 🤪. 
Thought of this clip I watched ages ago -Hopefully this video is allowed. It’s travelly catching birds. A bit brutal but the fish have got smarter and it’s nature I guess, from blue planet and narrated by David Attenborough, I love that guy haha

ps!! I don’t think I have seen a wild hen before is that a female or male! There feet are massive !! Thanks for sharing I’m learning a lot for you and the pics you share so thankyou!!

I hear what you mean you seem to have a good ‘sense of self’ so when things are a bit off you feel it and you are trying to work out where that’s come from? Did I get that right?

I like your analogy of the eagle! Good birds eye view and not many things above them in the food chain.

I like the ying and the yang!

Our walk tonight, thought I’d share a pic with you since you have shared so many awesome ones!! I don’t have as many animals or an awesome garden as you but can get some good sunsets at times 😆💜

 

[DownMoreThanUp]

@Chasingsunsets Good hearing from you. Lovely Sunset! How have you been in the mean time?

Yes i like to keep an eye on life within using what i call my image of God model. Where my life is like  Creation and the things i find within myself correspond to life outside of me.

For to be brave as a lion, see sharp as an Eagle, be scared as a weasel, to fly with the birds or to crawl like a worm or be healthy as a fish. Or to live through a hurricane being the hurricane or survive the blistering heat giving myself a cup of water to drink,  see myself have plenty or be in desperate want, are all realities ALIVE inside of me as well as outside of me. So i reason nowadays what does it matter if i die my rodent but feed myself an Eagle? Or i'm hunted down the Gazelle so the lion in me has a bite to eat too? i found thinking about life within myself like this, rather than terming some states of being 'good/right' and others 'evil/wrong', were much nicer fruits to eat than dining on that yucky fruit called right and wrong all the time. As well as my life making much more sense me having so many different manifestations of living my reality within. If that makes sense?😁

i slept 7 1/2 hours today and feel well for a change.👋

Such are all states of being i understand to be also within my own inner world of being.
