Red Tail Cat Fish
Maduranga, just before he launched three new additions to the pond- Red Tail Catfish.
They swum to the bottom of the pond and we have not seen them since.
They will eventually grow to three feet in length

Our First Duck Egg
15th January 2012 and we have our first duck egg.
This is Pathmalal, one of our gardeners and he broke the news this morning with great excitement that "Black Lady" has an egg.
So that is now her name.

Happy Healthy Hens A Laying......
Although we are keeping ducks we have not yet started keeping hens and it is highly unlikely we will.
But importantly, whilst you may not even be aware that that funny little Lion stamp you see on your eggs means that your eggs are salmonella free, you may be interested to know that the eggs we use at Reef are quality controlled and are also salmonella free.
We like Happy Hens who our favoured supplier and we love their green philosophy.
No longer do we have to bring back eggs from the market in a cardboard box stuffed with straw.
We now have eggs which are traceable and we know have been produced in environmentally friendly and hygienic conditions.
We also know the hens have not been pumped full of antibiotics which is good news for all of us.
We also know how old the eggs are when they are delivered and consequently what their shelf life is.
Happy Hens use recyclable, environmentally friendly paper packaging and we send back the cartons to Happy Hens and that means less waste for us to deal with.
They also do lots of other green things like collecting rainwater, treating it and feeding it to the hens and again, not pumping them full of antibiotics.

The Ducks Are In Their Duck House!
At long last the ducks are in their duck house and they now have their own private pond to splash around in.
So my brainwave of employing the ducks to aerate the pond has been dismissed as the ducks, however, sweet they are to look at in the ponds, made one almighty big mess and also liked to gobble up the guppy fish which we keep to eat the mosquito larvae. But yes, they did help to aerate the ponds
So, if they are to ensure they do not end up being prepared for Christmas Dinner, they will have to start producing eggs in about two two months time. Well., not all of them and we have yet to somehow identify which are the female and which are the male?
And look carefully, at the left hand side of the photo are the two guinea fowl who clearly think they are ducks.
So, which will be eaten first? The duck or the egg?
