New arrivals





Three weeks ago 2 gorgeous rhode island red chickens, a rooster and a hen, came to live with us. They're an absolute delight and it is easy to waste time just watching them scratch around for their food, it's so relaxing.

We know we live in the country now as the rooster crows early in the morning, in fact until we feed them. It's hilarious to hear, they're young and so he can't crow properly yet, it's like a boy whose voice is breaking. Today we collected our first egg, a very exciting day. It's really small so no baking or omelette making yet, but maybe in a few days....
