Sheep rolling

Grr the oldest ewe normally rolls on her back twice through pregnancy. She doing it every other day at present. How many lambs! So grateful to my neighbour who doing a late evening check for me. 

Chickens and ducks looking very happy and content with theirselves. 

Veg patch slowly but surely coming together. Strimming in progress weeding in progress. 

Think we are doing well down on kts acres. 

Also a business idea in the pipeline 

Lush grass for the ladies

Moved the ladies ready for lambing into my field that been resting over winter. The other field can rest and grow. 

Ducks and chickens all getting on well 

Weeding and saving my veg beds next on the agenda. Started slowly 

Seeds sown

Started this years seeds some a bit late but will be ok. Rest we on time so ok. 

Got a lot to catch up with but getting there. 

New chickens

New additions to the flock today. My lonely chicken thinks she’s a duck. She ignoring her new pals and continues to run with the ducks. She bosses the ducks about. 

Bit muddy and wet in the coup today. Muddy ducks still like to messy around in the rainy puddles. At least chicks feet are dry. 

Polytunnel finally ready for this seasons seeds. 

Cold frame built and ready. 

Making progress 

Lame duck

Back on the holding at last and feeling good. Despite shoulder and a bad cold. Felt good to be doing easy jobs. 

Yesterday morning found a lame duck. So muddy she couldn’t walk round coup. Others run around quacking if she in way they walk over her. Daft ducks. 

Examination nothing out or order. No signs of a brake. 

Choose to isolate her for 24hrs in a small space. She had to rest. This am what a difference she running with the best of them! Bless
