deserted duck.

Another performance last night when every one of the hens went in the big hut leaving Ed the duck quacking aimlessly around the garden. Again we threw a towel over her and put her in the duckery after a chase. The chicks survived the night in the big hut but two of them have been fighting all day and it's real blood and gore stuff. I have had to separate them several times. We are pretty much convinced that these two must be cockerels and so will have to be necked if we can't find a home for at least one of them.
The weather has been glorious today. Could be the Mediterranean!
gina and andrew are back from Crete having had a lovely time.

That poor duck. I feel sorry for her.

You need to set up a blind date for her with someone who keeps ducks or are you fattening her for the oven?
