New Ducks

Some new ducklings at the Duck Hilton, we've hatched 9 Rouen ducklings and they are thriving.  Rouens are a breed prized for their flavour, they develop slowly and taste wonderful - dont name these ducklings!!  I think we have 5 ducks and 4 drakes, best drake will be kept for the breeding program as will the ducks, the others will be for taste testing ;-D  Once up and running we hope to be able to supply the local market with good quality meat, raised organically and free ranged for maximum benefit.

They were a bit shy about having their photo taken, but are really enjoying being out side in the day pen, with access to a pond and the 'lawn'!!
