My little parcel of spares night catches arrived this week, here they are...
A ginger cat, who needed a little white patch on his chest to become a perfect lookalike model of my real one
Julip version hiding in the real one's fur!
Someone arrived on the board I use for my outdoor pictures, so I got a photo of him looking at his mini self
And then almost eating it! No Julips were harmed, he got a bit soggy but no toothmarks
I also managed to get hold of one of the speckled hens I've wanted ever since the first time they showed up in the spares
I googled chicken breeds to find out what she was - the preview text below a matching photo was cut off saying 'Speckled Sus...' and my mind randomly filled in 'Susan' before I clicked and it turned out to say 'Speckled Sussex', but of course her name has to be Susan now
And finally, I caught two ducks!
It amuses me that after years of wanting a normal mallard pair, and never managing to get them in any batch of spares yet, I ended up getting both these extra-fancy rare breed ducks on my very first try, when I'd have thought these would've gone in a flash for being so different!
I'm not quite sure what breed they are, though, they remind me a bit of wood ducks or harlequin ducks, perhaps a hybrid which isn't quite either pattern? I love them, though, whatever they are. At some point I'm going to have to just order some mallards, I'm sure these two would like some friends.
I'll post some photos of their little houses in the Yards & Buildings forum section in a bit, rather than ramble on about making things from cardboard here on the new arrivals board
[edit] Here, a link to the henhouses and duckhouses
