RIP Featherly

Our horrid little terrier managed to escape into the garden whilst the hens were free ranging and killed our beautiful featherly.I know its just instinct on her part and i still adore her but at the moment i can't even look at her.

let the chickens out into the garden for the first time today,they loved it and got to meet fergus the cat,which thankfully didn't result in any carnage.will try introducing them to Tinker the dog next,fingers crossed but don't think we'll ever allow them to meet Poppy the terrible terrier!

jobs for january no 1

sort out the allotment!!Apparantly one hour in the winter is worth five in the summer and i'm determined to have success with something other than beetroot.
Chickens have settled in well,looking forward to our first eggs...
