I burnt a (thankfully) small amount of maple sap this morning while I was doing taxes (can I take this as a tax deduction?). I thought quick and tossed some chicken scratch onto the sticky maple mass, homemade flock block! I was almost in time to make it candy but it was just too far evaporated. The chickens and ducks liked it so not a waste.

Five ducks eggs today! First time ever for five duck eggs. We have had four in the past with only three females at the time. We have one duck who has laying glitches. We have never had five duck eggs all in the same day so a first for us.

Later in the day I cleaned the rabbit cage which meant I had to let them run free, in the fenced yard, and later catch them. The rabbits do not like to be caught once they're out, it was challenging. They really prefer their much larger spring-fall pen but they need to be in their winter cage in the coop for a little longer. It's an XXXL cage, not bad sized at all but not like their better weather cage and run.

Lots more sap collecting and boiling and rotating the fast filling sap buckets took up a lot of the day. Not much else for this day.
