Adding to the Flock.

We had a trio of silkies years ago. I bought them at Beeston Market to use to hatch out other eggs that were often on sale there. They successfully hatched out guinea fowl, pheasant and ducks. The pheasants were scatty so I let them go in the fields and a stoat had the guinea fowl. When the ducklings hatched, the hen used to have a fit when they jumped into the drinking water bath for a swim. We had the ducks for a few years. However, when I tried with 3 goose eggs, the poor bird struggled to cover them and eventually got off squawking after about 25 days. I don't think she ever went broody again.

A lad at work decided to get a cockrel but he just liked the chat up line. He was Welsh from Connah's Quay.
