Popular Post ryaldinhio 5,215 Posted Monday at 22:47 Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 22:47 Not been on for a while lads, change of phone lost log in etc. Now got the app so see how we go. Not much changed other than animals growing on. Turkey making good weight. Ducks ARE a pain in the arse as expected. This pig cross (Pietrain/Saddleback) is slower growing than previous breeds. But today we got our first ever duck egg at Meadowview cottage which was a nice surprise. Interested to hear what others have been up to...... 19 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
