teeny tiny ones...

the farm is filling up with small things once more ,and despite my previous post about my quest to stop the ducks and chucks becoming all broody i am rather smitten with the results of all their mama efforts...

naughty white hen has three babes, same amount as last year, the ever so wonderful piccalilli, custard and crumpet who are now fully grown, watch on as the newbies go about their busy little chores...
such as the very important task of sitting on top of mama...




and sweet mama duckly raised seven but sadly one has died and another is poorly.. 
when it comes to babes, chickens seem so much hardier than ducklings...





so my days are now filled with the constant need to change the water for the ducks and fill up the feed bowls for them all...



beautiful, beautiful teeny things {{welcome}}
