Lesley Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 hmmmmm..... tell them you can go off ducks We've just been out to lock up and the ducks were almost in their Eglu - then as soon as we saw them they ran back to the far end of the run, straight into their little pond to play "we're not afraid of the broom" Carl had to crawl in again, haul them out one at a time and post them in through the egg port. Thank goodness we've only got two The boy had been renamed Tim - as in Nice but Dim! The little boys were perched all over the place again and the 8 girls had decided to split 7 in one Eglu and 1 in the other so they had to be moved around.
