Eighteen days to go...

While we are overseas having a great time, we will be leaving behind our 24 children...well, children of sorts...



We are the proud parents of 7 Welsh Harlequin ducks, 2 Pilgrim geese, 11 hens (5 Isa Browns, 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Pekin bantams, a Minorca and an Australorp), 1 gorgeous Rhode Island Red rooster called Roger and 3 newly hatched chicks called Chocolate (pictured right), Vanilla and Honeycomb.








We are lucky enough to have had one of our friends offer to look after the family for us while we're away....I just hope he knows people who like eggs (because he'll be getting a full dozen every day!).
