Quacks and Honks

Well, these are our ducks and geese.















They are all up against the cage to greet the camera which they hoped was a form of food. They do have a good deal of space and they are in a mobile cage so that we can move them up and down the garden for the greenery (ducks and geese love grass and weeds)















The geese are grey french geese. They get up to a good weight and they are much less aggressive than the english white geese. The ducks are all mixed. We have 3 geese and 9 ducks. Though, we felt the ducks were big enough now, so we have one alone in a pen, fattening up for the oven in a couple of weeks time. We can hardly wait.

Yes those Geese look wonderfully fat. When do you intend to stuff them?

Oh we ate them at New Year, we were going to do them for Christmas but it was too much to try and cook when we had just moved in.
