The Ducks And Chickens

About a month ago Jock bought 2 ducklings and 2 chicks to KaliKalos as a new fun experience for everyone, its quite different than looking after the garden for instance, these adorable creatures need a lot more love and attention, and a slow gradual release onto the campus to roam freely.

They all live very happily in a hand-made large cage, are fed 3 times a day, but we try to keep that limited to 20 mins each time and try to hand feed them so they get used to human contact. the chicks seem to be very friendly and actually jump up on top of the cage to receive there food! Whereas the duckling are a lot shyer and need some more time to adjust and trust the person feeding them, and hopefully in a few weeks they can soon be released and free to eat the garden slugs and bugs! :D
