It was lovely to welcome a great group of people onto our basic Poultry Keeping Course yesterday, the biggest thanks has to go to our fabulous hens who laid some gorgeous eggs for the homemade Victoria sponge cake - yum yum! #properfreerange#cakesofinstagram#victoriasponge
Itβs very rare we see all 6 pest controllers at once, even less rare we can get a picture of them all together! Ghost, Daisy Cloud, Mustard, Pepper and Pixie all home for dinner at the same time π#nopoison#mousers#feralcats
Iβve finally got the incubator on! Many of the eggs are older than the 7 days old max I would usually consider so Iβm not too hopeful but no point in having empty spaces! The slow start to spring has really messed my timings up π #spring#rarebreeds#thegoodlife
Nancy, after giving us 7 eggs, decided it was time to sit on them.... sheβs been reliably sat for 3 weeks now, just 1 or 2 more to go till we hopefully have goslings. Frank has been a little lost without his Nancy π #geese#goslings#thegoodlife#isleofman
This girl has a very serious look about her, sheβs also a bit pecky...... can mean only one thing - sheβs going broody!!!! #thegoodlife#petpoultry#broodyhen#nofilter
These free range hybrids would rather live in a barn and steal sheep nuts when itβs a bit rainy π Iβm open 10-12 and 2-4 tomorrow (Sat 7th Apr) if you want to pop out. Still a small number of hybrids available πππ #thegoodlife#besteggsever#isleofman#freerange#petpoultry
In just 2 weeks Iβll be restocked with fabulous pullets, I am finalising numbers on Monday, to guarantee the type youβd like order before noon on the 19th March. After that reservations can still be made but when they are gone they are gone! ππβ€οΈ #thegoodlife#besteggsever
The egg production has certainly improved in the last few days, a bit warmer, lots more sun and a lack of gale force winds! Orders now being taken for the next group of Pullets, all types currently available π #freerange#besteggsever#perfectpets#thegoodlife
Brrrrrrr is all I can think!! -3c this morning, making sure everyone has water is a challenge in this weather. The duck pond was so frozen I could stand on the ice!! π² However the new girls arrived and are resting after their journey before they head out over the next few days.
