Where are you in the NW? I'm just NE of Seattle and I average about 200 Mallards on my pond each day. You're welcome to them. They just eat all the food for the chickens.
Cyril, I'm just out of Portland....Wish I was closer and I'd take you up on it...If you get a chance, send some South.

When they start getting too bold, we reach down and grab one or two for dinner. Otherwise we just try to scare them off. There were years past when we had to be getting close to 1000 in at a time and they would litterally be grabbing the feed from under our feet while we were putting it out. Trying to keep our chickens, geese, peacocks, and swans fed was getting ridiculess. Since things have grown up over the years and we now have a housing development behind us and an elementary school across from us, shooting isn't really an option any more. But I figure that if I can grab them by hand, they are fair game!

So. Colorado - Having a heat wave. Only got down to 7 last night. In that storm last week we bottomed out at minus 16 - not including wind chill. When you threw in the 50-60 MPH winds, it flat got COLD (-60 windchill?). If anyone has a little Global Warming to spare, I could sure use some.

Duck hunting is the greatest gun sport going.
You live in a great flyway there in Maryland. I have over 20 years experience hunting the coast and the inland marshes here in Maine, though my excitement for the sport is waneing.
Good for the dogs too. They love it.
Have a blast....

On average we have 48 days when the temperature gets below 0 (F). This fall we have had 8 days when the temperature got below 0. Last night was the coldest at -13 F.
Right now at 1:23 AM it is + 23 F, so it does jump around. It hasn't been above freezing for over two weeks and it isn't expected to in the next week or so.

You will not have to worry about Mud!! And them combines have heaters these days!
Do you dry the grain or is it going to feed right away?

Funny you mention that time, that's when the local vineyards collect the last grapes of the season for their ice wine. I don't like the stuff myself, much too sweet, but they generally collect the grapes in the middle of the night once the temps get below -8*C.

Mud has'nt been an issue this fall. I think we had the dryest fall for 3-4 years but a wet spring and late planting followed by a cool summer has led to the late harvest.
We don't feed any livestock and generally we haul to a custom dryer to find one big enought to keep up with the combines.
We wont worry about drying the corn for a while as it's frozen good and should store safeley for a while.
Drying might be a slow and costly job this year as the moisture was very high before freeze.

Great way to start the day today we are at +5 and it is 5:50 in the morning. But what can you expect other then a heat wave when a big storm is to your south.
Here are some similar links:
