Good news so far.
Thanks, Mary.
Kind regards, Ann

The chicks are getting big now and all looking well. :-) I think this is a great success story, considering WHITE UF did not return, then this female arrives, and for them to have three chicks first time together is just wonderful.

Thanks Mary. So far so good.
Thank you Mary and Ron.
Thanks, Mary, I love good news!
Darren sent me some photos from Balgavies late last night. He said the light wasn't great, but to me these are just brilliant, you can see the chicks so clearly, and they ALL look fabulous.
