I just found this ‘leftover’ photo in my files, ready to delete because it’s so blurry. It was taken ages ago before I knew that Phoenix 1 (golden pheasant) had ‘a thing for’ Malay (hen that looks like a rooster).

I have since done a bit of delving into whether pheasants and chickens can make a go of things and, apparently, yes they can but the eggs will be unfertilized. While I was doing this extraordinary googling, I also discovered that geese and ducks can also have relationships but, again, none of the eggs will be fertile.

So things are beginning to make more sense around here. The only problem now is that there are 9 eggs in the middle of one of Husband’s many shrubs and we don’t know whose eggs they are!
