This is why you never see Pascal out and about.
Rango loves people; Pascal not so much
The kids are allowed out in the day for a few hours now.
The alpacas are with them for protection.
They hate foxes and foxes usually know better than to come close to a herd they are guarding.
One of the babies discovered the bird yard tonight.
She couldn’t wait to show the others
Feed time in the bird yard
Derek once again isn’t where I left him; he’s cute though, so he gets away with it.
We are introducing Kevin the duckling to the farmyard during the day.
He has been causing all sorts of duck drama since his arrival
We had some baby quail hatch over night.
Kevin the duckling is at best, bemused.🐥
The new arrivals have settled in well to our Guinea pig village
Our first chick hatched overnight. He’s dried off now, and is standing for short periods.
But he will be exhausted from all his hard work for most of the day.
The egg on the left is well on its way too.
We can’t take the chicks out until all the eggs have hatched, as it can ‘shrink wrap’ the remaining eggs if they have pipped, and then they wouldn’t be able to hatch.
But that’s ok, there’s plenty of time.
The yolk of the egg, which they absorb immediately before hatching, nourishes them for up to 72 hours 🐣
Edmund and Eric, Manor Farms newest additions. 4 and 11 days old, they are settled well.
