Waterlogged Jemima!

Jemima, our mother-to-be duck at our sister park, Wheelgate in Mansfield, decided to start her family in a large planter in the middle of Goat Gruff farm and has been getting a lot of attention from both visitors and staff!

Unfortunately, with the endless heavy showers, her new home is fast becoming waterlogged and she is struggling to keep her eggs warm and dry…

After sitting on 11 eggs for the last three weeks, with only 10 days to go until they are due to hatch, Simon came to the rescue with some much appreciated temporary shelter, an umbrella!

To ensure that Jemima and her family remain comfortable throughout the torrential rainfall, staff at Goat Gruff farm have decided to come to the rescue with a toddlers playhouse, providing enough shelter to keep the little family out of the rain!

Keep posted for some exciting pictures of Jemima’s new playhouse, coming soon
