just a short update on the ex batt hens ..and the new ducks

The ducks seem to think there is something better in the hens run by the way they keep peeping through the wire. Its great to see ex batts/barn/fr hens recovering so well, just one or two bare and pink bahookies but looking so relaxed and happy.
Hoping to get a couple more ex batts in the summer from our friend Kathryn at Homes4Hens, just a bit more work to do to find them a spot to settle in for the 1st week away from the rest of the flock.

They do look contented little chooks. I hope they are rewarding you with some eggs already. Love your ducks too!

Love that video clip, I recon the ducks are having a discussion, so sweet and how wonderful your set up is :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

They look so happy being able to do what hens do naturally. Love the ducks as well.

isn't it lovely, giving something that had a crap start a break.... (not the ducks) maybe i am getting soft in my old age ...
nothing more rewarding than having a few chooks gather around you after a hard days work ....and then seeing how well they are getting on :thumbsup: then giving you the best eggs you have tasted in years

nice looking ducks - what breed are they? are they for layers or meat?
-
the ducks are a cross with Kc and (cayuga ? ) they are a breeding pair....we should get about 300 eggs a year from her ..later i would like to breed some for the table...
