Thursday

Papa and I decided over lunch today that we're going to get Tommy another female. Lady and her ducklings are avoiding him and I think he needs someone to visit him in an intimate way. I'm hoping to get a female that has coloured feathers. I have a feeling that the duckings are made up of three females and one male, I hope this is the case as there will be less fighting.

There was a large goanna in the pen today which managed to eat up quite a few chicken eggs. I got quite a shock when I came home from shopping to see what all of the commotion was about. I'm looking after the neighbours chickens next week for a month while they go away. It will be pretty easy as there are only 5 or 6. You should see this one hen, its smaller than Speedy - I'll take a photo.
