The last few days have been very wet. I missed most of it as I was stuck in the car travelling. However, it is, as they say, lovely weather for ducks and it is thus apposite that they arrived today. Six ducklings have joined or small poultry enterprise. There may soon be more as we met a man at the farmers' cooperative who may be able to supply is with turkeys. This would leave us enough time to get them ready for christmas and might solve all our present problems.
In addition we have now got an incubator working and hopefully in three weeks or so we may expand our flock of chickens. This is the most basic version where you have to manually turn the eggs but the cost sis very reasonable. We'll soon know if Geoff is firing blanks or not.

Now I know this won't look right in print but.... You call your cock Geoff? That's kinda posh.

Hi Iris,
He came named that. We originally had two, the other was called 'Scampy' ! We had to keep his name so as to avoid upsetting him.
Cheers

Can I have an alive duck instead of a dead turkey for Christmas?!
On second thoughts, our 'pond' is much to small for a duck.
I can't wait to meet all the poultry in AUgust!
