This is there house, they just don't know that's what it is




And prefer to sleep under the decking, if you look closely you can just see duck legs

Fantastic

I love ducks .

Any fish in the pond ?

We had some that just turned up years ago , nested had the ducklings , ate all my fish food , poohed in the house and then disapeared without a thanks

Got some pictures if anyone is interested

[davina112]

Yes we have fish, the ducks are calls and only small. They have eaten all the weed from the pond, which is what we wanted them to do.

They are just lovely .. If only I had the space and a pond

[sandy]

They are lovely what a fantastic home they have, what lucky duckies

[aceface]

here here sandy lucky duckies indeed by the way davina your lovely silkie boy is doing his job very very well

[Chookaholic]

gorgeous .......and can I just say your garden is glorious!

[davina112]

Thank you Chookaholic. It certainly is not a "nice garden" in the nice neat sense. But it is a working garden with veg plot, greenhouse, poly tunnel, chicken home and pond for the duckies. It's my garden and I love it. As for entertaining, well so long as you don't mind stepping over the chicken poo, and are happy with chickens around your feet while you relax or eat your food,then it's ok
I decided a few years ago that I don't have a garden for the few times each year I may have posh visitors, I have a garden that suits me all year round

Wahaaaaay, Daisey duck has laid an egg in the nest box of the duck house

[perchy]

They have a lovely home and your garden sounds fab, just read you have been rewarded with an egg

[davina112]

Perchy, the little lady had already laid 6 eggs, but had done so under the decking but this morning the clever little one had laid in the nest box

[Thomassio]

Love that pond! I really want one for my girls but just know it will be impossible to keep clean. Thanks for sharing.
