Hello Sunnybank.  :wave:

As Hilarysmum says there's loads of stuff already in the sheep forum, and if you've got any questions that remain unanswered just ask - someone will know the answer, and the only stupid questions are the ones we don't ask.  :D

Hi Sunnybank, and welcome!!

Dan - I definitely preferred the demented hat wearing hippy look, but it's nice to see that Rosemary is so supportive ;).

Sandy - Ever thought about getting some nice quiet ("Quackless") muscovies?

Womble.

Arh, quiet Ducks, our Lilly was like a non stop record when she saw anyone, I was worried as the neighbours backing on to us are nearer to them than us...I did love them, mind you Charlie loved the Chickens in all the wrong ways!!!!

Oh, I miss my so-ugly-they're-beautiful Muscovies!  The girls trill softly to you, the boy may hiss quietly, under his breath, if you worry him.  And beeeeaaauuuutiful eggs, none better.  And spare boys do taste good.  :yum:

Welcome Sunnybank  :wave:   We farm beef & sheep in north Cumbria, I am a closet smallholder on the side - house cow & calves, pig (in pig - yay!) and native ponies.

I thought the raging hippy photo was hilarious and when you put this one on it took me a while to realise it was the same person ha ha sorry Dan
