The field has dried out enough to allow us to start the tractor rides again, my first trip around the track was a little scary because I had forgotten where the potholes were, pleased to say no one fell off their seats.
All the ewes have had there lambs now and we a gradually getting them out into the field.
The chickens and ducks have suddenly started to lay again, after the cold spell, at least our visitors are able to find lots of eggs in the nest boxes.
Unfortunately 'Mr.Fox' found his way into the goose house and killed one of our female geese, who was sitting on a batch of eggs, I don't mind telling you that I was not very happy, it has also upset the other geese in the pen, so they have come off their eggs as well, as there is not much green food in the woods behind us, the foxes are calling in at the farm after anything that they can find.The goose eggs in the farm shop are selling very well at the moment, as more and more people like to try them.
Hannah our large White sow has produced 8 very cute piglets, and we are including them in the animal handling sessions (subject to how they accept it) we bring them out for short sessions as we do not want to stress them or mum too much.
