I would so love ducks but I had heard they love to make a mess, so we decided to make life easier for ourselves and now have 7 brown hens, unfortunately they are very noisy and messy too!!
We regimes a small chicken hatched at school, she was called Lovely but unfortunately she was a he with viscous spurs, my husband needed a brolly just to get in the garden, he was regimes in another ‘farm’ a sigh of relief from hubby
Oh , we’ve got a Mary but she’s been named Cookie Monster! She lives sitting on laps and has taken to sitting in our miniature willow tree looking down on her ‘sisters’ as they gaze up at her
The girls have decided to nap together, yes there’s 7 chicks on this pile, shame about the veg patch but a great hollow was dug by one intrepid chicken!
