The first bearded iris, the pink rose, chickens and other ducklings

The first bearded iris for the season are out - and taking a hammering from the wind!!

The pink rose bud is getting better and better, fantastic salmon pink:

Judy has 7 ducklings now, (I have sold 7!!) those remaining  include one mini duckling (blue fawn, extreme left) and one micro duckling (fawn at the rear left), they are hearty eaters, but just grow more slowly than their siblings.

I am growing out a few araucana babies from our own stock, and they are growing up with a couple of crazy (but gorgeous) polish chicks and a lone modern game bantam, who has of course turned out to be a roo!!
