karlotta Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 How are they getting on? And how are you getting on with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 They are adorable As soon as I got them home they ate some food...then they snuggled together against the fence at the rear of the run...the hens clucked for a bit but other than that haven't been bothered about them at all...they came out about an hour ago and enjoyed a drink Sure as the days go on they will hide less Just going to lock them up for the night...I cannot wait to duck watch tomorrow All the children are thrilled with them...and Mr Snox is very chuffed (he picked me up and spun me round) with his new girls His first thoughts on names are Winifred (named after his Gran who used to always call him Duck and June (the month he was born) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
