The children have been on holiday since I last posted, I am little greyier but surviving.
We were unfortuanate to loose two of our naughty chickens to a Fox last month.. The fox was later caught by villagers and hung on a telegraph pole.... The Chickens had been warned what would happen if they continued to break out from steptoe's corner.
We have replaced the two chickens with 6 more day old chicks plus 1 white oe which was a gift from the chicken shop!! The chicks are now about 8 weeks old and growing so quick in the heat of the summer. They all seem to have learnt a lesson as they very rarely try to make a break for freedom now. Hopefully our egg supply will soon be resumed, however it has been good to have a break from omelettes.
