Of course they went about being all cute and stuffs.
It quickly became apparent that the two nesting boxes just weren't working out in there ...
So FarmerSpence decided to remove the boxes to make it easier on both the babies, and the moms. And one little one got a bit of a ride in the process.
Seems like everyone is happier now with no boxes to get in the way.
Speaking of babies, the chicks at the farm are getting bigger!

Even trying to roost.
And trying some more ...
And finally making it! (Cam 3)
Billie Jr is also growing up quickly.

Getting used to the feeder as well!
Banksy does not seem to be a fan of the geese. At all.
But seems to have no issues with the ducks.
The ewes got to spend some time out of their enclosure, free to do some roaming around.
I might be crazy... just let the sheep out to get some fresh green stuff.. I hope it's not hard getting them back pic.twitter.com/yFEnYMLgUE

That's all for this week. We'll be spending the upcoming weeks just watching babies grow. Until then, it seems the ducks might be rubbing off on Jinx a tiny bit. See you in chat!
