Chicks arrive!

As of this morning we have 3 new chicks! We gathered for breakfast at the hen house to celebrate.

Chicks?

Melanie the chicken has been behaving in a broody fashion.  She's gathered all the fake eggs in the hen house to sit on, she won't venture far away - so she's now got her own little hen house in which to attempt to hatch some chicks!
We'll keep up with her progress over the next few weeks.

Spring picnic!

A massive thanks to Helen for organising the easter picnic.  The biggest problem was keeping the chickens from the nosh!
