Hi Anneka

No news yet. Was expecting some piping this evening but none so far. Have candled. 4 looked like duds, one i couldn't tell and the other looked good.

Fingers crossed for some action

No fox problems here since we moved in 7 1/2 years ago, luckily. We know they are at the farm beside us, and over in the woods behind the house, but have never seen one, or seen any evidence of one. Strange but true, and we don't know the reason. However, we are around most of every day, they are all shut up securely at dusk and let out when it's light, and the dog sort of patrols the garden.
One chicken (ISA brown keeled over in the night, but I thought she was looking not too bright - pale wattle, slight hunch, gone next morning. The other one I had put down (maran)- prolapse suspected, and a couple of the others were starting to have a go at her. Took advice from a friend, and he put her down for me.
I hope to move into breeding Scots Dumpies and Scots Greys next year.

Not at the stage for stock yet; I have the website addresses of the Scots Dumpies and Greys, and will go from there when I'm ready. I would like the initial stock to come from Scotland, else I think it's a bit of an anomoly.
I like the idea of a crofter's chicken.

We've got a lot of new members since this thread was last visited and I'd love to hear more about what people have, particularly as Rikki wants to hear more about ducks (and so do I)!

Any new members fancy telling us what animals they keep, and why? And where, and how?

I currently have:

4 chickens
1 dog
4 zebra finches
goldfish (in new pond and inside in a tank, soon to all be outside, then may get tropicals inside)

We had a cat and rabbit who both sadly left us earlier this year (old age). I have also in the not so distant past kept lizards, canaries and quail.

3 cats (one adopted from next door) - skitz, polly and cat, and two goldfish (one which escapes). - steven and Stephen spelt differently so I can tell them apart. Nothing useful really, although cat helps by digging in the garden and fertilising the lawn. Skitz helps by catching and eating mice, aphids, flies, snails, slugs you name it. Polly is totally useless and brings me slowworms as presents. She's not the sharpest tool in the box. But she is cute.
