spring

hello to everyone from The Slap, sorry ive not updated the blog page since Newyear,its beeen a busy winter.Now that spring is here, i promise the blog page will be updated on a regular basis. The grass on the croft is at long last starting to grow, we have been spreading sand and manure on the fields to encourage the growth of nice lush grass.Yesterday we had our first baby duckling hatch in the incubator, and 2 baby quail followed last night,We have a chicken sitting on a nest of eggs they should be due in the next couple of weeks. Daffy duck is also sat on a huge nest of eggs.Diamond the black shetland pony is due to foal any day now, she is huge.All the other ponies are doing really well after a long horrible winter, even Puzzle our very old pony is feeling good, she had her feet trimmed last week and it seems to have given her a new lease of life. The sheep are due to have their lambs in the middle of may so a busy time ahead. Have a lovely easter weekend.
