The end of an era! My five last girls have been lucky enough to find a new home with my friends Jim and Julia, where they will have a large enclosed run plus outdoor exercise in the vegetable patch. It does feel very strange to go down the garden and see empty perches, where for so many years...

LadyA I’ve pmd you.

This is wonderful! I’d like to know if HenGen was involved in the orca watch! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-64906631

Brilliant!

What’s it like up on Fetlar, HenGen? Do you know this crofter? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-scotland-64900417

Until ten days ago I was pleased to find that four out of my five hens were laying every day. Then it dropped to 3 a day, always the younger ones. When I went to get out more Aubiose today, I found out why. Cloud had decided she prefers her own en-suite instead of having to muck in with the...
