It's a very strange time for us at the moment at Alledal Gård.

We've been here in Sweden for over 4 years, and during that time we have had some down moments, but mainly we've had a wonderful time trying to make a success of our little farm in Skåne. I have no regrets about coming to Sweden in the summer of 2006.

Now, I'm afraid, the end is nigh, and we are shutting down the farm. Over the last few weeks the chickens, ducks, and geese have found new homes, and hopefully in the next few days the goats will have new homes too. By the end of 2010 Alledal Gård will no longer be an active farm.

We've had some wonderful successes with the yellow ducks and the chickens particularly, and have found it to be incredibly rewarding. And for me personally, a fantastic way to switch off when I come back from work on my main job.

This is the beginning of a new chapter for us, and hopefully over the coming months we'll be able to share more of our plans for the future. If you've followed us over the years, many thanks, and I hope that we've brought some pleasure to you from our little corner of the Swedish countryside.

New Arrivals - hatchlings Utskrift

The eggs we've been incubating for the last week have finally started to hatch. On Monday the first activity was seen, and by yesterday 5 had hatched out.

The first little terror started to hatch on Monday.

Breaking through

It took until Tuesday for it to hatch out.

Breaking through

The noisy little fella then spent the next day yelling at the other eggs and jumping up and down on them asking them to come out and play! It even checked we were keeping the humidity right.

Checking humidity

By last night they were out and eating and playing and cheeping very very loudly!

In the brooder

Out of the 18 eggs we were incubating 5 have hatched out so far. It's possible another one may hatch, but we don't think we'll get any beyond that.
