[Dansta]

well we now have two ducks - Scarlowie and Splash.
I have to build a duck-hut for them this weekend. they're so cute. boy and girl. heh.

Chooks are going well, another two roosters will be off towards the pot soon (neighbours friend takes them)

Hows every one elses feathered babies going?

[~me~]

Feathered babies going well. Three on the lay and two just thinking about it. One of my hens started with a bantam sized egg and then stopped. So I am waiting for her to come back to lay.

No Mel...we looked at the chooknet style feeders and waters. As we only have 5 hens they were not worth our while and suit our current housing and feeding system.

Our Leghorn is so frosty and flighty, does not mingle well at all with the rest. She is a loner and very smart, I have to heard her in at night as the other night, I locked the chooks up after dark and assumed they were all in asleep only to find her up and about in the morning. My DH thought I hadn't locked them up properly, then I set him straight explaining she must have been asleep elsewhere.
