In the gang are Max and Matilda my very badly behaved geese who I got as a pair 4 years ago but strangely Matilda has never laid an egg! I am pretty sure they are a pair but cannot explain the lack of eggs! Anyone got any ideas? Max and Matilda love nothing more than a good time ripping all the plants up in the garden. The most recent incident happened 2 weeks ago the day after a man had been to fill our pond with new underwater plants. The pesky pair set to work as soon as my back was turned and pulled every plant up from the bottom. Not content with that they completely shredded every bit of green they could manage - the pond looked like a swamp and not a single plant could be saved!
The less destructive members include a pair of Indian Runner ducks and 7 lovely Muscovy ducks who currently have a nest in the hen house so all being well there may be some new additions joining us.
Another job done!
