Our Home Animal Sanctuary

This is a video of our animals at home, except our Cat "Parsley" who was not around at the time.

All the animals are "rescue" animals, the Hens being from the Hen Trust Rescue centre at Coventry and are ex-battery hens,  The Ducks aquired recently, are from Evesham in the Cotswolds from an animal sanctuary that had to close, due to the land being bought by a property developer, so sadly all their animals had to be found new homes. We also bought 4 Rabbits and 3 Guinea pigs from the same place. We'd already got 2 Rabbits from last year, from the local RSPCA .  Our Cat was also from the RSPCA. So now we have quite a collection of pets. As i write this we have 12 Ducks, including 2 drakes which are a bit rough towards the female ducks.  We get plenty of eggs from the Hens & Ducks of course. There are no plans to add to our  animal population at this point in time!                                                                                                       

Of course having the Ducks meant altering the garden a bit, so the large pond had to go and the surrounding planted areas. But the pond had not much life in it, the frogs had nearly all dissapeared too, though i found a home for the remaining ones. But I still have enough planted area in the garden now, plus the front garden for the bedding plants.
