2. Sam and Jay foraging for raspberries; they totalled my blueberry plants yesterday

One of each, so only half the eggs I'd hoped for when she starts to lay in about 2-3 months.

yes they loveeee berries!!! My ducks, a white indian runner and a swedish blue get all the berries that started to rot from my berry garden and they dive in for them.

Very pretty ducks by the way. are they tame enough for you to handle? I am trying to tame mine by holding out treats but haven't had much success.

Thanks, definitely pretty, not tame though and won't let me hand feed them.

Well at almost 4 months old I think we're going to get eggs soon. Just spotted Jay mounting Sam in the pond

. Will have to keep an eye open for a nest I think. They've just finished their teenage moult.
