I am hoping to rotate once we can get some fencing done. We have one large pen with ponds, that has the general purpose chickens, runner ducks, and my pilgrim geese pair in (just at night).
The compost heap pen, which is now housing the abacot rangers, the guinea's, my two bantam hens and the 9 embden geese (just at night).
The pond and orchard area is split using sheep hurdles as pens, and the embdens and pilgrims are herded into them each morning.
The field, which is home to the 3 runner duck boys 9who should have been bonked on the head but haven't!) 3 goats, 5 ponies and down the bottom, our tamworth sow and her gilt.
Am hoping to create some new pens, in woodland area, and in the field, so they can have a resting pen, and a current pen...
why is it no one tells you that you just don't end up with a few of each- they are very addictive.
Eventually going to concentrate on abacots and pilgrims, keep some heinz57 chickens, and a few runners. BUT don't quote me on that- hehe.
This is vid of first enclosure. have changed it a lot now. More ducks, 2 cockerels and a few more houses!
