This morning consisted of me chasing chickens around a small field trying to convince them their fenced off part of the smallholding is wonderful and no they really do not want to trample all over the scary mud that eats wellies. Did they listen? No! so now I have 22 chickens running around my field and I swear they are laughing at me, I keep hearing this very loud noise from them and it all goes quiet when I look in their direction. Maybe they are plotting their next great escape for tomorrow.
Anyway the boss man is going to make me a larger gate for their run and hopefully they might stay in tomorrow.
In other news I had a "duck" hatch 5 days ago, a lovely little thing except "she" was 7 days early and a chicken! thats right my duck egg hatched as a chicken. How lucky and I! This resulted in me running around for a while going "brooder brooder quick! I have a duck.............chicken, why do I have a chicken, it should be a duck". Her current name is duck and she is spending a lot of time in my pocket until the duck eggs that were incubated with her (please let these ones be ducks) hatch in another couple of days. I will keep you posted!
And here is the famous Duck the chicken
