It's pretty quiet here here at the farm. It's so hot all the duckies (and Speedy) do is sit under the mango trees and eat bananas. When Katcsa got off her eggs this morning I took them so now she is off hanging out with the rest of them. I brought home duck scraps from the cafe again yesterday and the duckies are just so fussy. Out of the scraps they only eat bacon, scrambled eggs/omelette's, pasta, chips, risotto, sausages, egg shells, tomatoes, watermelon and rockmelon and cooked mushrooms. The rest of the stuff they just turn their nose up, lucky we have chickens who are less picky and are just happy to be eating food other than seeds.
The chickens are penned up at the moment. Ive done a head count and we lost 5 hens (and about 25 chicks) during Snake Fest 06-07. We're down to 2 brown hens, 3 black ones and 2 roosters. I think Speedy is going to sleep outside tonight for the first time. I'm a little nervous but I think he'll be fine.
