Millbrook's' Animals

Alpacas - We currently have 9 alpacas, the youngest was born in October 2010 (see blog), we also have 2 from June & July 2010 and three on the way. They are very friendly animals who will eat from your hand, although not let you touch them, and unlike lamas they do not spit at you. Alpacas are kept for wool as alpaca wool is one of the best that you can get. We sell Alpaca socks made from UK Alpaca Wool, so you can try for yourself!

Ducks - We hatch and sell ducklings during the spring and summer months. We have a group of wild mallards that love Millbrooks lakes.

Chickens - We several hens who are great layers all year round. We have a tradional devon red (resuced from the battery farm), a black cochin and a Welshsummer, They love to be fed; prawn crackers especially! They are completely free range and roam around Millbrook by day, at night they go to bed to be safe from Mr Fox. If you would like to taste real free range eggs, let us know and if we have any spare we can let you have some.

Dogs - We have 3 friendly mad labradors who love children and love playing. Ellie is 5 years old and Red is 7 years old and Charlie their son 3(1 of 10 puppies)

Cats - We have a grumpy, dog chasing tabby cat called Harry (12), and a ginger and white 5 year old called Millie and smaller, friendlier tabby who is 4 called Willow.

Goats - We have saved 2 Billy goats (sorry no milk!)that we saved from the sausage machine and have given them a good home. They are great characters and love people - especially people with food!

Geese - We have 5 friendly geese who keep the grass down in our Pinetrum area. They are enclosed and noisy if you pass but very friendly.
