"Ducknap" !!! and Cows

Crime has occurred in my back yard! - someone has stolen 8 of the new ducklings from the pen in the middle of the garden.  We are all extremely shocked, and very sad about this. We sincelerly hope that the "Criminal" knows how to look after the little ones as they are only a week old and need a lot of warmth, proper chick food (not corn or bread) and plenty of water at this stage of their lives.  If they get wise they will just return them to the pen quickly, otherwise I have heard the owners of the Centre saying that they will be looking back on the CCTV footage, whatever this means.  It is sad that humans can be so uncaring and take these ducklings out of such a lovely place to grow up.....

The Cows and the Horse are here - I am told by the older ducks, that this is normal for this time of year and that I should get used to them peering at us over the fence and making a lot of noise.  They are all very young and are fascinated by everything new, as they have been inside all winter and it is all very exciting to them. (There is an absolutely beautiful black cow with such a pretty face that I am already very fond of).  The horse "Floss"  is already wooing the visitors in the centre and seems to spend most of her day "chatting" to the girls and boys. Wish I had a job like that!  She also seems to be taking the lead with cows and often leads the youngsters around the field at pace.


"Floss" is in charge of the young cows again

  1. I hope you find who stole the ducklings and that they are returned safely. Can't believe anyone would do that, it's awful.
