Spring Time Animals

Have a look at the video to see the Museum's spring chickens and their chicks as well as new Lincolnshire curly-coated piglets. The piglets haven't quite developed their full curly coats yet but they are getting there. C.G

Pigs & Poultry

Last Friday I took a few pictures of some of the museum's livestock. The Lincolnshire Curly Coated pigs and Gloucester Old Spots have grown since the last blog entry http://ryedalefolkmuseum.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-pigs-at-ryedale-folk-museum.html . The Light Sussex and Marsh Daisy hens are laying and looking well. On 24th August the Muscovy duck hatched 10 eggs and we now have 10 lovely ducklings. Jonathan Severs
