Yesterday when I went to check on the dogs, discovered all 3 'farm' dogs crashed out in the driveway. Had to take the pic through the fly wire screen, but thought they looked so angelic had to make a record of the moment!
This is Carmen, not sure what colour she is, but is very pretty. Only just coming into her first set of feathers and it will be interesting to see how much, if any, change occurs when she gets her grown up feathers. She has a wonky leg - dodgy incubator - but gets around very well, no problems swimming or getting or out of the ponds either - all good.
Cilla and Suzi enjoying a swim, Cilla used to head duck, but the more forward Suzi has paired up with the upwardly mobile Iggy and is very much in contention to topple Cilla shortly.
This is Elvis, he started out a skinny minny, but he's been eating well and filling out as you can see... bit like another Elvis? Ours however is entirely 'substance' free!! He was a very pale blue as a youngster, but now has a richer browner colour on his chest.
This is Gabriel, a young silver drake, quite dashing.
This is Pepper, I think she's lovely. Has been heavily pinioned so cant fly which is a pity.
Tina is a brilliant flyer, when the group does their morning panic - seems to happen at the same time each day - they all charge back to the day yard!! Tina is the only one who can manage to avoid the 2m fencing and land inside the yard and not at the gate or past the gate, or as some do into the fence!!
This is Titus, think he will grow up to be a lovely little silver drake.
And these are the pheasants, thought I had a pair of Ringneck Pheasants, but it now appears that I have 1 Ringneck male and 1 Hybrid male - that's not going to work so well!!
The Ringneck male is coming into some stunning colour. He is very forward and hugely 'flappy' whenever I go into feed them. Both are very fond of the bread and milk dinner time treat and the rice/corn/peas mix that comes with brekky.
