After our bad luck with the geese our spirits are lifted with today's hatch of fifteen lovely yellow Welsh Harlequin ducklings.
We are holding off another hatch of goose eggs and the second incubator now has twenty-eight Cream Legbar eggs. Not counting them before their hatched, but we already have a market for some of them later in the season
Always look on the bright side
