My duckies are doing well
Mine always have a dirty water by the time I am putting them to bed.
I clean it out every morning so they at least start the day with fresh water. If their water is clean by the evening I am worried as that means they haven’t played in it (and also haven’t dunk...
Nice to meet another person living in Ireland
Where abouts are you living? (It’s fine if you prefer not to say I only say in a vague sense)
I am in county Clare
I only moved over April time
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/moving-to-ireland.1650459/
I have call ducks, an Indian runner and a silver apple yard
I don’t have chickens (at the moment 😉)
They are brilliant at making mud it’s one of their specialty’s :lau
I have been moving their pen once a week to keep their pen as mud free as possible
I love my ducks and want to keep them as...
My ducks have fresh air but some of them are quite weak when it comes to keeping their body temperature up so I have to be really careful that they stay warm enough.
The house that they use to have in England was nice and warm in the winter but I haven’t had any time to winterise their house...
Sorry I didn’t manage to post yesterday it has been a lot busier than I anticipated.
We are loving life here
We managed to make it to the peak of the moor it was stunning and you could see the loch
The dogs are also loving life. They really are farm dogs. Where we were staying they didn’t...
We have made it!!!
It has been a crazy year and we finally have made it
The dogs, cats and ducks are settling in well
Will tell you more tomorrow we are all exhausted

We just left :( we didn’t want to leave!
My dad and sister are going back tomorrow to drop some more stuff off (me and my mum booked something before we knew when we where moving so we will do that) and then Sunday, 2 days, we move in!!!!!!! It’s so exciting
we walked on our land for the first...
I’m glad ☺️
Yes it won’t keep the small things out. We have one rat that is getting in and stealing food but he/she is really fat and lazy so right now it is not a problem
We do have weasels and stoats but they a really rare in Ireland so haven’t been a problem
Yes they could but this big guy...
Entry 4
Diamond my bunny, enjoying a snuggle, he was recovering from his castration but he was a naughty bunny and decide to chew his wound open multiple times resulting in at least 4 surgeries to fix it when it was ment to be one simple surgery and he ‘wouldn’t notice’ well he definitely...
Thank you all ❤️
We are heading now about an hour and a half away But my dad had an important work meeting so we are currently stopped at a service station waiting for the meeting to be over
We have packed the car with lots of stuff. The boot is full and me and my sister have the dogs at our feet
Okay big news everyone! We have decided to move in this Sunday! The 16th!
Also we are bring the bunnies and guinea pigs over on the 28th!!!
I can’t wait to see them!!!!!
We are having our stuff delivered the first week of December (or the last week of November. We haven’t got exact dates yet...
Oh okay that makes more sense.
I am moving soon so probably won’t get the netting, yet anyway.
I just wanted to be sure that I was good enough, as I couldn’t find any regulations on housing them, normally we put them in a polytunnel but it broke last year and we have had to change things...
I’m not entirely sure what you mean but I will take it how I think you mean.
I am always worried that someone might steal them but we live in quite a rural area, and you can’t really see them from the road so I hope no one would take them. Fingers crossed, tapping wood, all the rest (I always...
So your not sure if they need to be tarpped??
I have had the tarp on them for awhile now to protect them from the storms (some of my ducks are a bit weak and need the extra protection even from rain)
I’m glad you think so!
I could look into getting something? If you think it’s necessary. I...
