Come and see the corral in which the guinea fowl, ducks and turkeys graze between sheep and goats. Observe with your children the comical behaviour of pigeons. And beware of the “stray” ostrich! Goats are represented by two different breeds – the smooth white goat, which came about by crossing peasant goats from Switzerland and Germany, andthe Boer goat, which was bred in South Africa. The white goats have short hair and are usually hornless. They don´t have any special requirement for farming and have high fertility. Boer goats have a hardy constitution, both sexes have horns and upright ears. Their coat is short, they have a reddish bald head, ears and neck are usually brown with white coloration of the body. They live for around eight years. Geese have been kept for several centuries, resulting from the domestication of wild geese.
Our muscovy ducks are white and “ruánské“. Muscovy duck, also known as the Chinese duck is related to our mallard and come from muscovy ducks which live in tropical areas of Central and South America. The Ruánská duck breed is from north-western France, bred from regional ducks. Blue guinea fowl originate in Africa. They are very wary and are characterized by rapid responses to external stimuli. They cackle loudly and usually stay together as a group, flying mostly low to the ground and they rarely cross the fence or enclosure.
