They're all Muscovy ducks Beeducked, mum (Mrs Grey) in the back and some of her kiddies in the foreground. The one you like and others are for sale, posted in Marketplace today. They're all cute and will eat out of your hand.

Ooh, no funny knobbly bits on his face though!

Keep thinking about muscovies but probably need to keep down numbers especially for the ground this time of year. Planning on working out a way of letting the ducks onto our field without letting the sheep into the orchard and can then have a few more.

Then again have to fix the fence to our neighbour's field (with pond) so we don't have to keep fishing the ducks out. They have discovered that if they wiggle hard enough they can get through the stock fencing but it is magic, one way fencing as the holes are much smaller on the other side so they can never get back!

Muscovies roost so you have to leave them to it really - some nice high branches or a shed roof top and you should be fine. Go on, you know you want some

Now that's just mean, tempting me like that!

Ha! Thought of a defence: if they can fly and roost then my attempts to reinforce the fence are futile as they will just fly over into next door's pond!

Will keep telling myself that and no posting any more cute pics.
