Elwood Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 What is this strange word you speak of, chicks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menial 1 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Two sheds full, hatched off last Tuesday. No sign of any wild broods yet but a lot of partridge cock birds wandering about alone suggesting the hens are now sitting tight. Young rooks not out of the nests round here yet so everything may run a little late this year. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 got held up down the highstreet yesterday by a malard with her very young chicks. Think she had nested in a planter and was walking them across to the village pond. Not such a good move on a busy A road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Had a hen mallard last week with a hatch of 13 walking up the side of an A road whist i was spreading muck last week, so i annoyed everyone on the road by going even slower and coaxed her and her young off the road through a gate, my sence of well being went through the roof, and all the gestures and V's i got from arrogant road users didnt bother me at all! Mind you, buzzard probably got them all anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
