Our black hen still sitting on a clutch of 11 eggs.  I'm not sure how smart she is as she has her nest at the top of the haybale stack in the barn.  I haven't figured out how she thinks she's gonna get a bunch of chicks to the ground safely.  Maybe she knows something I don't.

I also believe one of our pekin ducks has started sitting on a nest.  That would be great but I will probably have to pen her with a brooder light as these duckling would hatch around Halloween... we have snow sometimes by then.

I started making crabapple juice.  I've never tried juicing crabapples before.  I hope is works.  I have 2 large pots of apples so we will see tomorrow.

What kind of berry is this?  My guess is a highbush cranberry.  They grow on what I would call a vine that grows to about 5-6 feet tall.   They are soft and without a pit.  I haven't tasted them, it appears the birds eat them.  Anybody a berry expert?

Well, that it for now.  I'm headed to bed.
Good Night
