Little bear has a day out again

Today we took little bear to a sort of farm thingy. It was a place where visitors could go and see the animals, but it was not quite a petting place.

First we saw the sheep. Little bear was quite impressed by these, as they were very large up close and very loud. There were about half a dozen rare breeds and they had lots of lambs, they were gorgeous. We let little bear out of the pushchair and he was really well behaved, fascinated by all the animals.

Then there were the pigs. Again there were several rare breeds and some cute piglets. The piglets could wriggle through the bars and run around the yard and then come back to their mother when they were hungry. Little bear giggled like crazy when one did a poo!

He checked out the shed with the open fire, he was fascinated by that, and equally intrigued by anything in pink. Little girls always seem to attract his eye.

There were bunnies in little runs and lots of chickens. One indoor pen showed some more rare breeds - chickens this time. One breed was a transylvanian bare necked chicken, which indeed looked like a normal hen but plucked around the neck. In fact it was completely bare and looked exceedingly odd! However it was a rooster at the end, I can't remember the breed but I think it was something like wyandot, which crowed very loudly right next to little bear.

Little bear didn't cry or scream, but did decide that mum needed a hug and that it would be very convenient to travel in the pushchair now, at this moment, please.
