Chickens and other livestock

Last week we lost both our duck Mildred and our gold silkie rooster, Goldie.  They drowned in the duck bath as the water level had gone down with the dry weather and they couldn't get out.  Yesterday Stuart found one of the black silkie hens had been crafty and hidden her nest in a half round barrel underneath the Chook house.  We now have 4 light coloured chicks and 7 black chicks.  It looks like Goldie left his mark afterall.
