One of the highlights
for visitors to Woodlands Farm is seeing the Farm animals at
close quarters: ducks, geese, chickens, sheep, pigs, pony,
goat, not forgetting Daisy our British White
cow.

|
Bah! We are the sheep and we have been here for nearly seven
years now. There are five different breeds of sheep -
Romney, Suffolk, Texel, Lleyn and Herdwick. In the Spring we are very
busy with our lambs. The farmer shears off our fleeces so
you can wear a woolly jumper when the weather gets cold. |
|
Moo! I'm Daisy, I am a
British White cow. I came to Woodlands Farm at 8 months old
and am settling in well.

|
 |
Neigh! I am Bob the Shetland pony. Although I am quite small
I am very strong and tough. The farmer sometimes takes me to
shows, where I give children cart rides. |
|
Cluck! We are the chickens. If
you visit the Farm you will see us around
the farmyard. Our favourite food is worms.
You can hear us clucking when we lay our eggs! |

 |
Oink! We are the Vietnamese
Pot-Bellied Pigs. We are called Doris and Iris. We sleep a
lot and you may hear us snoring in our shed. We love to roll
around in the mud and splash about in water if it's a hot
sunny day. |
|
Oink, Oink, we are the
Saddleback pigs. We came from East Sutton Park and came to
live at the Farm in October 2009. Our names are Bluebell and
Bella and we are enjoying all the attention we get from the
volunteers and visitors. |
|
 |
Squeak, we are the guinea pigs. We are called Scampi
and Brandy. We
help to keep the grass cut in the Farm yard and love to meet
visitors to the Farm. |
|
Squeak, we are the
latest arrivals in the guinea pig house. Our names are
Lottie (left) and Lola (right). We are settling in
well and getting to know the other guinea pigs on the Farm. |

|
 |
Quack, we are the
Aylesbury ducks, our names are Raymond and Jemima. We
have not yet named all our babies because they are all so
fluffy and we can't tell them apart. We have a nice
new house in the main farmyard and look forward to meeting
all the visitors. |
|
Honk! We are the geese. We help to guard the place at night
as we make a lot of noise when we see people we don't know! |
