We also got two more ducks

We said goodbye to Phoenix and Phoebe this summer. This was due to the fact that Phoenix unfortunately was a bit of a pest to the female ducks that we had here. They went to a friend of mine near Bath, who has a smallholding, and after the initial trauma of travelling settled in very well.

Being the sucker that I am, at the auction we came home with 2 more female ducks. This one to the left is Sugar, and she is a Saxony duck. The picture doesn't do her justice. She has a wonderful ginger colour down her chest and head.

We also came home with Nice. She is a Silver appleyard cross Aylesbury, again very pretty and my photo of her doesn't do her justice. They have both settled in really well to the "farmyard." They have become firm friends.

This years hatchings

Trying to keep things uptodate, hasn't been as easy as I thought. However I have now found time to do an update.

Truffles ducklings all went to auction, and sold. We took 7 of Jemima's and they sold too. We kept two which we have called Lilly (above right ) and Peaches (above left).

We also intended to get a cockerel and a couple more hens, due to the lack of eggs during the summer, and the high demand for eggs. Well you know the story, and I'm a softy, as you all know. So we came home with a young cockerel who we have called Goldigger, 3 point of lay buff sussex hens which we have named Tikka (the one with the green leg ring), Masala (red leg ring) and Korma.

Well here we are, finally making it into the 21st Century!!

We thought it would be useful for us to be able to update people on what was, is and has been happening here at Pols Piece. Not only that but for our guests, and hopefully future guests, to be able to write their thoughts and experiences on our Blog, so that for those people who where considering coming to Pols Piece could have a good overall view of what a holiday at Pols Piece might provide them with.

We ask you therefore to add your holiday memories here on the Pols Piece Blog, along with photos, so that you can share these with others.
