Rabbits, ducks, and cats, oh my.

Every "one" is tended.  I will get litter, again, probably as I am working on getting refuse together, bagged, and out.  All seem in good spirits.  Theseus, my youngest drake, had been in sour... more sad... spirits for quite some time.  This last week he has been in a slightly better mood.  No, not slightly.  I'd say he has been rather, almost, giddy.

I found out why.  It seems he has figured out how to get a hen to be with him from time to time.  Honestly, I think Henry, the indian runner drake, is helping.  How and why?  They why is to keep Theseus off Henry's hens.  The how is by picking a fight with Herc and doing a run and peck to get Herc's attention.  That gives Theseus just enough time to... do a round or two.  This morning, he was riding Penguin Girl quite vigorously.  Henry was doing his best, if I helped a bit myself.  Herc must have figured it out, so he was heading back.  I just stood at the hutch door and that was enough to dissuade Herc from breaking it up.  I do need a few more hens.  Enough that Herc isn't so bothered by a... second rider.  He wears out fairly well, even with three.  Three or four more, so to have a brooder I can get eggs in for.  Bleh.  I'd like to get meat birds going, these are the breeding stock... if they would stop eating their own eggs.  Gah!

I have been looking for the other kitchen implements.  I haven't found more.  Didn't look too awfully close.  I was beginning to crash, then did crash pretty quickly after that last post.  The only reason I didn't crash immediately was because I was stubbornly holding on to the hope that more work could yet be done.  No such luck.  I held on for, perhaps an hour, maybe too, drifting into insomnia.  I had to call it, or I would have drifted all night.

Hoping for more tool finding and cleaning, and a bit more today.  Those tools really help.  It's just a matter of keeping them clean.  The best bet is to clean them immediately.  Ugh.  I am getting tired again.  I may take a nap shortly, if I can't get to work in a few hours.  Later.
