We’re just finishing the [...]
Peachcroft Farm kindly donated some young turkey poults in July, which spent their first month in the stable. They are absolutely lovely birds, make a glorious vocabulary of noises and are incredibly steady and calm, not to mention vastly grown in 4 months! They’ll be kept beyond Christmas for enjoyment, education and egg laying purposes. [...]
