Baby bunnies for sale, and other livestock from our farm.

The summer is flying or should I say hopping by; as I have lots of baby bunnies for sale.
They are various colours and some of them are rare Thuringers, a lovely German breed and not prevalent in the uk. Here are some rabbit pics for all those innocent bunny lovers.

The crosses are £15 and the pure bred Thuringers ( above coloured brown with black ears etc and photo above) We do not normally breed bunnies, so if you are interested please contact me on 01437 899329 before the delightful pets hop away! Ready now.

I can reduce cost of chicken keeping course for guests to Rosehill Farm B&B or s/c Nook Cottage and give shorter courses on poultry and waterfowl.

Do you want to learn more about keeping chickens, ducks and geese for eggs, as pets or meat on your small holding or back garden. I have been keeping poultry and waterfowl for years on my livestock farm. I started off with a chickens in my back garden and since being in Pembrokeshire, I have taken poultry courses introducing people to a fascinating hobby of keeping poultry. I tailor the session to what you want to know and you can see the birds and find out the practicalities of keeping poultry.

 Keeping poultry can lead to new friendships and some people get the showing bug. I had some birds win prizes this year at the Welsh national in January and the Spring Show in April. There are so many breeds to choose from and we have several rare breeds of chickens, ducks and geese you can see and learn about.

Cheeky ducks, chickens and geese in the farmyard chasing me for food. They should be in their designated area where the pond is. You can view them from one of the bedroom windows if you stay at Rosehill Farm Bed and Breakfast.

 

 

St Bride's Bay, above is another popular beach to visit; especially for divers to learn diving or for families to picnic on the beach.

Our driveway is full of primroses in spring, as is much of Pembrokeshire. The bluebells are out now.

The spring flowers are on the cliffs and beautiful walks, don't delay if you want to see the spring magic in Pembrokeshire.

Spring has sprung and the weather is changeable, but the lambs are here again with a spring in their step. We did a bit of decorating to brighten up the guest lounge.

Here is a selection of spring time pictures on our farm, with some spring time decorating inside!

Summer beaches and sheep

Now is the time to take that summer time dip in Pembrokeshires gorgeous beaches. There are so many to choose from. It's like Devon and Cornwall rolled into one unique coastline, but without the hordes of tourists! I went in the sea at Sandy Haven, a quiet beach not far from me and I could peacefully watch the oyster catchers wading on the shore.

The ram lambs will soon be seperated from the ewe lambs, for obvious reasons!
The yearling rams have been inspected and are officially registered pedigree LLeyn for breeding purposes.

I have decided to join up the dots a bit in my virtual world of communication and so went on twitter as EnquiriesMary
