Laying Ducks and Hens

It will soon be spring although weather wise it doesn't feel like it!!

Ducks and Chickens are laying. Chickens that I hatched and raised becoming characters the Cockerel has his voice. Sits on top of the duck house or in a tree practising his vocals. Don't think he will be on Britain's got talent anytime soon but he certainly is a very large Chicken! Quite funny watching him fly into the apple tree. I think one of his ladies has started to copy and sits ontop of the hen house.


Male ducks I raised well they know what to do. With this laying lark thinking about incubating eggs. I have for the last two years used an incubator. Maybe its time to get a silkie or bantam known for their broodiness.





Sheep well they just the same spoilt in a big field. With ducks and chickens and sheep sorted not had much time for the garden. Was hoping to spend 4 days next week catching up but its forecast more of the wet stuff. Good job I have another month to clear the garden before I want to plant!!

Kittens um advised to keep in for a month. they are champing at the bit to get out and play with the birds. They will just have to dream whilst watching the birds through the window. They are still heaps of fun and affectionate on their terms. Typical cat!!

So re-plan for next week get my sauce business ready for Bude farmers Market from Good Friday and for the taste fest of the Bude food assembly which happens first weds of the month. So if you are local and want to taste KT's Kitchen delightful sauces get yourself down to Rosies in Bude on Wednesday.
