ali-s Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Lovely Ducks Lesley. Will they be starting a family? Duckling photos please. You will find it difficult to find the time for the forum once you are farming and looking after your animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I've not seen white Campbell's before, but they look lovely. We mostly used to have Khaki Campbells, which are smallish ducks in a nice brown colour and they are good egg layers. Yes - of course you'll need a ducklu - what colour will you get? I hope the omlet guys are busy working on a customised piglu for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I was reading about Campbells last night and found out that they originated in Gloucestershire and the white ones are also known as Warwickshire Whites - obviously meant to be then We have found a supplier of a plastic pig arc - it's dark green and looks like a half of the tank we store domestic oil in. - no need to worry James I've just mentioned needing a Ducklu to Carl - he thought about it for.............................. ooh, all of 1 second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Lesley, I've only just managed to catch up with this thread, but those ducks look adorable I can't wait to see more photos when they arrive... and of the ducklu too. What colour ducklu are you planning.... I'm assuming that it won't be orange, although an orange one would match their beaks beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Lesley they are so pretty How lucky to have ducks as well. Omlet could have a Piglu for the pigs don't you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The plastic pig arc does have a bit of a look of the eglu about it - does it come in pretty colours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Wonderful - how jealous am I? Oh to be 20 years younger and retired with a bit small holding - dreams are lovely aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Sorry - i forgot I was posting in here as well now The pig arc is just in green - although I could always paint it as I did the Eglus (after Motherhen started a trend!) I'm not sure about the ducklu colour - I'll have to do a Murdo and ask the question Edited October 27, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
