lovely piccies, like the cockerel, shame about his sprigged comb. Good colour could do with a bit more depth and contrast. Cant really see his type from there

some i do some i dont last summer i had just over 100 in total  the first batch i did in icy was 30 and  i only got about 3 ducks out of it the rest where drakes.    then  the next batch i did was around 50/50 . so not so bad. i found the later in the year i hatched the better the girl rate . my last lot where under broody ducks and turkeys.   and i got only 6 boys out of about 35 ish.  i use my turkeys to go broody . as i can out loads of chicken and duck eggs under them . .

yeah spend a bit of time on my veg side i have a chicken alotment a veg alotment and a  all round alotment with some chickens and some veg . and my beloved barbecue lol.
as you can see one of the alotments need work but its winter now and not to much to do .     my chooks are all now in the large sheds and come out from 9 am till 4 pm .  then locked in over night.  as mr fox is a bit of a pain over winter times as they get hungrey my next door nabour alotmentier  lost all her chickens in one sweep one night . she was gutted the next morning.
