Be warned if you are thinking of getting hens.....

This is what happens to a nice bit of lawn when 2 hens are kept on it for 7 days........ this is where Babs and Goldie were kept in isolation for a week while they recovered from a cough....can you see the worn patch? We moved the fence out from it so as to show up the worn-ness better!

but on the other hand this is what the Sweetie Six and their mum get up to!

Here is a VIDEO! I have managed to work out how to do this and am very pleased with myself! I have also put on a clip of the chicks bouncing on yesterday's post!


  1. Sweetie pie and Sweetie Six and so lovely. Do they ever stop cheeping?! (not that I would want them to)

    We will definately have to have chicks next year.

    Rosie x

    (I did post this yesterday but I think Blogger threw a wobbly as it didn't appear)

  2. Rosie...the short answer is NO. They only stop when they are asleep, if they get separated from Mum the cheeping gets louder...and louder...and LOUDER.....until she appears like a big bundle of fluffy angry feathers, all ready to fight off whatever was the threat...

    They are HYSTERICAL to watch, the clips DO NOT do them justice and the bouncy flapping is SO funny...

    She croons at them when they are all settled under/on her, too..( ah bless....)

  3. The chicks are soooo sweet!
