A day at the auction!

Fab day at our local livestock auction, after watching the ponies for an hour, nothing took my fancy. So we moved on into the poultry auction. I won 5 ISA Brown hens, little sweethearts, don't think they've ever been on grass before the way they behaved when I took them out of the box. They could have been brought up in a barn perhaps, their feathers are quite dull & combs very pale. Give them a week or so & they'll look completely different after foraging in the grass & getting the sun on their backs.Also won 4 little Call ducklings. Megs fault! Little yellow fluff balls in a box. There were a few people wanting them, so pleased we got them :0)Although they're living in the kitchen by the Aga at the moment! It will be a few weeks before they're put outside. Weather needs to warm up first as well.
