We just accidentally acquired some cayuga ducks today 
These are they!
(The girls are called Evamene & Wanda - a prize to anyone who can work out the boys name  And why... )

| Not yet - they've only moved in about an hour ago, and just getting settled. They've not discovered their bath yet |

They certainly looked it at the farm where we collected them from, and it was fairly overcast when we got there!
We were very lucky not to fill the car... Elizabet had goats, large (eating) rabbits, Swedish Yellow Ducks, Swedish Blue Ducks, East India Ducks, Columbian Brahma, Light Sussex, Guinea Fowl, Buff Orps, Phoenix Fowl, Copper Black Maran, Salmon Faverolle, lots of bantams of various sorts, dormice, Egyptian hedgehogs, pygmy mice, ferrets (which stud at 2 500 SEK / £200 a time!)........ |
