;Dwhat a fantastic post , kept me entertained . excellent job Superstar , take my woolly hat of to you . ;D            andy

[superstar]

Cheers Andy I could have done with borrowing your woolly hat too the last couple of days! Here is a couple of pics for those that are interested. They have now been in the aviery for 2 days and doing very well. Heater bulb is on 24 hours a day at the moment for when they need a bit of warmth and comfort but seem to be on the go too much to sun bathe lol. They look like raggy dolls now the feathers are starting to come through so might look a bit rough in the pic's but thats natures fault not mine! Cant wait till they are fully feathered as it will give the electric meter time to cool down lol

[chickadee]

Hows they ducklings doing?

[superstar]

Well they are still here , still eating for England and still running up the electric bill :-/ lol. They are growing slow but sure, had a problem as one seemed to take a great liking to the taste of feathers and was more keen on getting a meal off his brothers and sisters than from the grub provided but thanks to the GENIUS that is Chris Maidment 8), seem to have got this under control now by introducing some fresh cut grass and also some hard dried mixed corn to suppliment the moistened chick crumbs they have. Here are a couple of pic's to show how they are doing and fingers crossed they can be found a better home soon after Newyear as they should be all fully feathered by then and more able to cope with the weather.
