Yep today we went and bought three new girls! Kirsty was really busy down at hens4homes as she had run a chicken keeping course this morning. She knew I had been running hen parties too so I'm thinking maybe she has glanced at the Omlet forum! I keep telling all my attendees to head out [...]

Batty Girls move in
Last night we put the batty girls in the cube with the other 2 for the first time. Today we took their Eglu away for the new girls. The Batty girls did us proud as they have already found their way in and put theirselves to bed. Not sure June is very pleased though – she [...]

Recycled Run…
As soon as I'd finished my rather ramshackle run last August Mum (the anti-chicken!) was planning the extention. Following the recent fox attack where we lost Pengy we got a handyman to build the extension. Anyone remember that decking I had removed?? The cube is attached to the front using a tunnel – idea from [...]

We sold our first cabbage!
Yep this morning I put out some spring cabbages for sale and we sold one! I was quite chuffed. All of our eggs go quickly too but I think its mostly the neighbors that buy them. Mind you the industrial unts at the other end of the service road is now advertising itself as "Rawlings [...]

Garden day
big logs logs I started this morning picking up a load of logs that I'd bought for a fiver on Ebay. I think I got a good deal for my money and the bloke I bought them off had them because he does trees for work. Now he didn't have a flashy van and shredder [...]

Sleeping Nearer
I've moved the cube away from the run (which after spending a month building we never use) and nearer the house for the winter. It wouldn't have been fun trudging across a very muddy lawn to get to in the bad weather. Its near my kitchen with a good view from the anti-chickens kitchen and [...]

Settling in
After a comfy first night in the cube none of the girls were ready to come out first thing but within a few minutes they had all negotiated the ladder, Pengy flapped a little but I didn't see the others come down (the anti-chicken let them out as she is always first up - I had [...]
