We've only just found your message... In addition to the five ducklings from Rachel at Island Poultry, we've added Solo, another Indian Runner from Scalpay, who we've picked up today. He was a single hatchee out of an attempt at an incubation who thinks he's a chicken/human who won't go near other ducks as he was attacked by other ducks. He's a trout coloured one. At this moment, he's hanging out with the chickens...
