We are really excited and very busy at the moment. We have our new west of England goslings growing well even though we lost one to a mystery illness, even the vet was at a loss. It was hard when we lost Bill, "named after Bill oddie from the goodies, as oliver loves the jack and the bean stalk episode with the flying geese." So it looks like we have two geese and two ganders. The Norfolk bronze turkeys have just gone in the incubator, so hopefully free range turkey not goose this christmas. All our fruit and crops are growing well and our first batch of blackcurrants are nearly ready. Trying to work out how to stop the crows and magpies stealing the hens eggs at the moment. We have lots of advice but they only work for a couple of days, it feels as though mother nature sees us as easy pickings be it mice,rabbits,crows,foxes and then there is the weather. At least all the water butts are full. The pigs are growing well and are acting like very naughty three year olds at the momnet, they have escaped a couple of times and caused chaos. Hopefully the rain will stop soon so I can get on with building the new goose house.
