We have always kept a few chickens at Ryanstock, with the odd duck.......in our case very odd.
Below on the right are two pure Mallard Runners, the drake (Michael) preferred chickens to his mate, so no offspring.
We have in past kept some old breeds and crosses and
still retain a small enclosure of veterans who just while away
their days dusting and chilling out. we get no eggs from these but they are nice to have around
Last year we hatched a few Guinea Fowl.
They are very noisy so it’s lucky we have no neighbour problems.
They have laid us quite a few eggs this year
Now we have a visitor,
a Pea Hen has suddenly appeared.
It dropped from the Oak Tree into the chicken run whilst I was feeding the other day.
It shows no fear of people or dogs
This is a picture on the left of
Vinnie in the foreground
with the Pea Hen and our
visiting horse ‘Owen’ by the gate.
Owen is owned by a family member and comes to help with grass management.
He is a star and loves dogs and people
These are a couple of pictures
of our visiting Pea Hen.
Whether she will stay or move on
we have no idea, all we can do
is make her stay as pleasant
as possible. She will get the full
‘Ryanstock’ hospitality.
