Looking for suitable pics for Novembers competition had me browsing through 100's and 100's of photos of our 'family'...
So I thought I'd introduce them all to you...
Tash and Tyler (Tyler is at the front)
Tigger (mum)
Five of Tiggers seven kittens (we kept three)
Trixie
Our Ladies
Beethoven (because she's a poser)
and last but not least..
Our Ducks... Jemima , Howard and Daisy..

No real probs at all..
Chickens and ducks chase the cats, dogs & cats no probs, ducks and chickens have sorted out a pecking order so no probs there either.. Dogs are fine with the chooks and Ducks (but are never left alone with them) Tash (female dog)is still totally fascinated by the Ducks so we keep an extra eye on her, but no more snapping at all so hopefully she's learning that they're family and not dinner!!
When we're out in the garden the whole lot of them are often round us at once.. slightly chaotic but lovely

When I get down to nearly 'ground level' with the camera, they just get really nosey and get too close! Beethoven was eyeing up the camera waiting for something nice to fall out I think

He is just a bundle of energy, if he cant chase anything else he'll wait for a seagull to fly over head and chase it down the garden...
The dogs are both RSPCA rescue, Tash was about 6 / 7 weeks when we got her and Ty was about 8 / 9 weeks old (a year or so later) he'd been 'adopted' but was brought back because he cried at night.. Ty is the 'boss' between the two but is the least calm and has the least confidence when he's at home... A very loving strange little character is our Tyler ....
