5th November 2021 - Peacock Enclosure and Toilet Ducks

Thought for the day : "There is a rare form of amnesia where you cannot recall any 80's bands. There is no Cure."

Today was the day that the baby peacock had to move down to the new outside enclosure together with Brahma the Chicken. 

The "eaters" had grown to large for the small enclosure so need to expand in the shed - we are keeping them inside until full growth as it is too cold outside now, and it is safer from predators (we hope)

They seem to like having a proper perch at last 

And today one of the two Fairy Houses arrived - not sure why the second is not there - it is included on the delivery note - sadly they do not answer their telephone "due to Covid Restrictions" so we are awaiting an email reply...

Copy of delivery note for record

The walkway at the entrance to the Outer Enclosure was getting very muddy, slippy and possibly a little dangerous. So, back to the plastic frames again and a bit more gravel - gonna have to buy some more for the lower quarter - have used almost all the gravel up so far.  

May need one more small bucket of gravel for the corners - too little for another barrow load.

Meanwhile - back int he Ty Bach - the "novelty Duck Toilet Roll Holder" is in place!!

Our Toilet Duck !

And so another day at the Homestead - and today we achieved a little more ..

Cheers !

Oh - it is Guy Fawkes and though I heard a couple of whizzes from the village - we have escaped without any bangs at all !
