Cluck a Duck.....

Well what a week its been, seems that we've ruffled far too many feathers in the large coop of life..... While we're all for advances in science it would seem some people are still holding on to the past, Chick1's new line in Duckins are not so popular with the man from Derby....he defiantly didn't say yes, in fact he said quite a few things including the K word (the place where the Cornell lives with his secret blend of herbs and spices) (KFC to you normal folk) Chick 2 thinks Duckins could be the new must have pet of 2012, although she has had a quiet word with Chick1 about chicken discrimination and we'll keep you posted on the outcome. If anyone is having trouble following this, Chick1 sold chicken eggs as duck eggs and the Hatcher said he returned from work wanting ducks... not 6 cute chicks in his incubator.. some folk are never happy..that's men for you!! Yesterday's request of half a dozen of the best to Turkey was met with Mr Clucks disbelief....Are you having a Giraffe....No and hopefully neither will they! 6 duck eggs posted....await outcome.

Our 1st outing of the spring is less than 4 weeks away, a short 5k peck round the park followed by the grand opening of  Barlows Roost!!! Training has been going great guns this week, three 10mile runs started the week off but today we threw corn to the wind and decided to upgrade to a horse and a bike....All was going well until Chick 1 decided to check the electric fence was fully working......Electrifying to say the least!!!!! Chick2 thought about offering medical advise but couldn't due to laughing. 

Matilda has been upgraded from council to private rent with this lovely yet small new coop, it even includes a secure outdoor area, it took some time for her to settle in but now she realises on which side the grass is greener and the shagpile is definately better than Uncle Bernards.  Also the promise from Mr Plum of a fully working en suite by next Thursday will see her in full plumage in double quick time.
