Friday started with chicken houses being cleaned out and chickens being moved around making room for eight new hens who are just starting to lay. The hens were collected and settled comfortably into their new home.
We had been planning to collect 50 bales of hay for the horses and cows over the weekend but as the weather forecast was not good we collected late on Friday afternoon instead.
By 7.30pm the hay was stacked, the animals put to bed and we were on our way home. A big thank you to Dad for his help; those hay bales were heavy.

Our duckling now has friends, we now have 6 ducklings, I will post pictures as soon as possible. Tomorrow will be a busy day as the horses need to have a new grazing area fenced and we have 8 new chickens arriving.
The new birds are just starting to lay we will therefore have more chicken eggs for sale.

Here is video of our first duckling now 1 day old. Hopefully he will have some friends soon. This duck hatched early he wasn't expected until Thursday.

Our first duckling has hatched in the incubator today- a few days early. Watch for news of the rest of the eggs. Picture will be posted as soon as possible.

Mrs Duck has been sitting on her nest for three weeks, hopefully her eggs will hatch this week.
Watch this site for details and pictures as soon as they become available.
