new addition

Well, as I mentioned in my first post, I have chickens and a duck. Make that two ducks now. Yesterday I happened to pick up a beautiful Indian Runner Drake. Jemima loves him. They hit it off straight away. His name is George. Unless someone can come up with something else. I'm still on the fence about George. But I want something that goes with Jemima. He's so cute.

Here he is. He's the one standing up. Isn't he handsome?

They do everything together. We're hoping they have babies.

He's already tried to have his way with her. Lol.

The chickens are a bit put out. Especially poor little Nigella. She was Jemima's mate. They used to go everywhere together. but now there's a man on the scene, poor Nigella has her beak out of joint.

Here they go off into the distance together. Isn't young love sweet?

And the chickens follow.

Here are two of my girls. This is Mabel (at the front) and Mavis.

Mabel is the biggest and thinks she rules the roost. But in fact it's Jemima that's in charge.

This is my Charlie. He's about 10 years old now but he's as agile as ever.

I think having Toad around keeps him going.

He has three legs because when he was a pup he got run over.

Here's Frog. Would have been 11. Unfortunately, we had to get him put to sleep.

He was suffering badly with bone cancer in his fron leg and shoulder and, as we found out later, liver cancer.

Frog and Charlie grew up together. It was devastating when Frog left us.

And Charlie was a bit down for a while too.

Then this guy came along. Meet Toad.

This is him when we first got him.

 He was 10 weeks old here.

Here he is today. 7 Months now.

He's such a sook.

He's a total mummy's boy. I just love that face.

And finally we have Fish.

She's my little girl. We've been through alot together.

She's very special to me.

This was her this morning stalking the chickens and the ducks.

I don't know what she thinks she's going to do with one once she get's it.

They're all bigger that her! Lol
