Im hoping to get out and clean the flooded coop out and im washing my filthy duck

( male ) he looks black like he been in a oil slick I've had to do this before as he just always looks dirty Aiyla will love it

Sounds like lots of fun, bathing a duck with Aiyla helping you!

Omg it was sooo bad

the coop was the worst I've seen it there was puddles of water in there which made.it stink

anyway cleaned it all out put loads of sand on there then straw.
As for my dirty male.duck

I got a old washing up bowl filled it with warm water got my duck and put him in he had like balls of mud stuck to his features and it was stuck to his head it took two bowls he could still do with another wash but I didn't wanna stress him out and he did.actually start cleaning himself up great!Aiyla thought it was fantastic

Hi Kim

I was waving my flag for you like mad yesterday! Hope it went well and you had a lovely ride and Harry was well behaved. Afraid I've still failed to get mine out but we drove Zak out for the first time this year, this afternoon and he was good as gold.

Portia is still broody but I'm not setting eggs under her now because she has been broody too long already. I will have to make a conscious effort to break her now that restrictions have been eased and I have a little more room to manoeuvre and set up a broody buster. She will not be happy. So it's extremely unlikely that I will be taking part in the Easter Hatch-a-long now and I still have cockerels to process. No more new chicks until they are done. I have to be strict for my own sanity.

Best wishes

Barbara

Hi Barbara,

X2 In my area, if you even mention to someone that you're looking for a cockeral, you'll wake up to load of 'donations' of cockerels on your doorstep.....
