Roses in the Chook Pen, Michelle, Ancona Ducklings and Murrumbateman Field Days

The roses in the chook pen are looking lovely and every so often there is a waft of their perfume, which is as lovely as it is unexpected in the chook pen!!

Sutters Gold is in the silkie pen:

And a Blue Moon climber in the modern game pen:

Michelle must be getting close, she looks as tight as a drum, spends lots of time each day just resting and is as cranky as a bear with a sore head!!

On Sunday I took my turn manning the Llama Association stand at Murrumbateman Field Days.  Clovis and Storm were pretty calm about the whole thing.... eventually!!

The alpaca exhibit was the other focus of my attention, and the owners of these lovely alpacas were kind enough to help us pack up our stand and our pen at the end of the day, thank you Qozqo Alpacas :)  They proved irresistible for our llama owner, Tanya, who bought the third alpaca in this pen - not shown in this shot, but a gorgeous medium grey girl :)

Some other cuties there too:

And last, but not least, our bantam Ancona girl has hatched 10 ducklings :)
