I loved this post! Watching the clips and reading about duckish shenanigans was balm to the soul. Lika cuppa tea on a cold day.

I loved these memories, Helen! Also can’t believe you nearly stepped on a hedgehog in flip flops, yikes! I’ve heard them erm ‘getting busy’ in the back garden and the noise is unbelievable! Still I guess it’s not a straightforward proposition 😂

This was a lovely trip down memory lane :). We tried having roosters, after our first one, Elvis - who was a true gentleman - died. I think we had two and both of them had to go...they were nasty so-and-sos...it got to the point where we couldn't go into the garden without a broom to fend them off with :)...so ours became a girls only flock too. xo

Yes, not boys allowed. It can be quite distressing to see them get aggressive with the girls. I actually felt sad when I watched my videos. I was back there, the smells, the noises, the feeling of a chicken’s foot!
