Time for a dip?

It is a very sticky day here and one of the Muscovys is contemplating a dip in the Burn...

Free Ranging

One of the joys of keeping the poultry is seeing them out in the field, ranging and feeding as they wish.  Happy birds.....

Thieves

To the individual who is stealing our eggs and butter at the gate, please stop. It is neither clever or funny. And yes, I have seen your car......

Not all ducks are happy..

It has been chucking it down with rain for the last 24hrs now, and everything is drenched.  It's not nice weather and certainly not nice weather for all ducks, Boris our Muscovy Drake was not impressed as he sat on the meadow at lunchtime....

Nesting

One of the hens has made a lovely large nest for herself in the horses field shelter. (And laid an egg...! 😁)

Lazy Sunday....

What could be better on a lazy Sunday, a trip to the Spa and a naught nibble. Never mind the waistline...!!

The Bathing Party

Happiness on a warm, sunny, afternoon.  A dust bath....

Where there's muck, there's hens..!!

The hens had a lovely time scratching about on the muck heap yesterday..

No!!  We are not taking questions from the Press today thank you.....

Two of our youngsters were enjoying some sweet potato and millet in the morning sunshine yesterday.
