Missing in action

I haven't post for months!
All those plans. I was taking my mum to visit her dieing Aunt in Hospital one February afternoon, stopped at a busy roundabout with the hand brake on, SLAM from behind by a distracted Guy doing 40! He was very sorry and I guess it could happen to anyone. But 3 months off work, 2 months struggling back on light duties and here I am, the planting seasion over and really behind on everything else.

I did get the hybrids 15 Amber Stars, 10 white cambell ducks and 3 white Embden Geese. They were booked and paid for before the accident and delivered late March the hens were 6 weeks old and the waterfowl only 3 weeks. The ducks needed another week of heat in the garage, a week of no heat before moving to their outside house. The geese went striaght out on the grass with bad/weather-overnight housing.

This is the geese at about 5 weeks old.
