Crowd funder ends, 'flockdown' begins, and ducklings arrive!

Totally agree with you about blanket culling 👍

As a proud supporter, donator to your winter feed campaign, and weekly consumer of your eggs, 🤞for the current bird flu outbreak. I absolutely agree with your sensible views on not blanket culling an entire flock. In case you don't post again before Christmas, I hope you and your family have a great one 🎉.

Fingers crossed that you make it through Flockdown unscathed. This spring was the nastiest bird flu season I've seen in the West, I'm hoping this isn't the same or similar strain.

I appreciate your perspective on allowing survival of the fittest.

Thanks Alex. The authorities are trying to eradicate a disease which is now endemic amongst wild birds - an impossible task unless you start killing wild birds too! Keeping livestock locked up is not a long term solution. There are only two real solutions - a vaccine, or natural immunity.

Those white/cream hens are welsh harlequins?

I am with you on the culling. I think its the same idiotic logic that got us all into the covid mess. But how cute are those ducklings! (those are the ones I want for our project!)
