New Arrivals
As Trevor has been busy incubating different breeds, we have now got our hands full with all different types of birds!
The newest chicks are the Rheas. They are truly fascinating little things. I’m saying little just for now as very soon they will tower over me (I am on the short side ). Once [...]
