Good morning everyone, from Rhys 🥰
We also have his two brothers, Lance and Rhodri, at Lowveld, and they are almost identical to look at, except Rhys has the longest tail by far 😁

Louie came here when his previous owner passed away from covid, and the girls were donated by a special friend of mine as companions for him❤️

The baby Pekins are very clever, they know the black sunflower seeds are kept in the red bin! The other bins contain boring pellets, mash and crumble 😁

Ok so what do you reckon folks, one little Pekin hen, and one little Pekin cockerel?
The one on the left in the photo has been squatting when i go to pick her up. No crowing or squatting so far from her little brother or sister.
It doesn’t matter either way to us, Steve has built the perfect Pekin Palace just for them 🥰 (pic in comments)

Joules - 5kg of gorgeousness 🥰
Joules is a Devon Bronze turkey, which is basically a small Norfolk Bronze, specifically bred for the small bird market in 2019, when covid restrictions meant that families couldn’t get together for Christmas.
Joules always likes to be the centre of attention, and shouts until she gets what she wants 😁

I’ve just heard Robin crowing for the first time since he came to Lowveld! (albeit at bedtime in his crate 😂) 👋👋👋
This surely must be a sign that he’s now feeling good after all the pain and suffering he’s experienced, and that he’s ready to move forward with his life 🥰
Absolutely brilliant, what a brave little man he is ❤️

Does Steve realise he’s being watched? 😂

We received a very special gift yesterday from Kate, this beautiful watercolour and ink painting of our Ant and Duck 😃
Kate goes to an Art class, and she was touched by their story, so she decided to paint them. She has captured our beautiful boys perfectly in her work 😍
Ant and Duck were found straying in Rugeley town centre, and had become stuck in a gully. Ant is blind in one eye and has poor vision in his other, so he relies on Duck to be his guide and help him find food and protect him, a job which Duck takes very seriously 🥰 They are never more than a few inches apart.
Thank you so much Kate, i am overjoyed to receive this beautiful tribute to our amazing boys ❤️xx

While we were shutting up for the night tonight, i found a pigeon who had got into our netted corridor. Terrifying for 2 reasons 😱 firstly we are trying everything possible to keep wild birds out of our enclosures, and secondly the cats had noticed and were on top of the netting, licking their lips 😱 I tried to usher him out through the gate, but he just kept flying into the fence and netting and was getting more and more tired. I eventually managed to corner him on the ground and grab him. After a quick check over i released him, and he flew off high into the sky. The cats were disappointed!

Fleur has been here since the beginning of January, and she’s well and truly settled in. She enjoys the company of 3 little bantams next door, and she’s an older, gentle girl, so I’ve been considering who would be the perfect companion for her 🤔 Robin springs to mind 😁 Fleur came here after a bereavement, and Robin was found as a stray. It would be such a happy ending for them both 🥰 Watch this space!

Baby Mikey is now 6 weeks old, he’s looking so grown up! 🥰

Good morning everyone!

This is Granville and his ladies exiting their Eglu this morning. They have to come out through the nest box door each day, because 2 great big Orpington girls stand by the front door waiting for me to open it, and they completely block the way out for everyone else 😄

Anyone would think they’ve never been given a drink of clean water 😂 These are the Bonfire Night Ladies this morning, when Rob topped up their drinker. These ladies cheated death when they escaped from their commercial egg farm during de stocking. They survived in snow in nearby fields and were rounded up by an amazing person who brought them to us on November 5th last year 🥰

Every morning when i clean her coop, this hen jumps on my back and starts digging around on my shoulders, that’s why she’s named Digger 😁
