Sad news

Last weekend our two hens, Gloria and Speckles, were taken by a fox. It was just after dusk when I went out to shut them into their coop and I was too late!

A couple of days later we visited a breeder near Frodsham and came home with these 3.

We have Ruby, the Columbian Blacktail, Pearl is the Light Sussex Utility and Betty the Daisybelle. This is them on their first outing into the garden.

Oh I almost forgot someone.......Finn! He is a 4 year old Bedlington who was rescued from Ireland.

Here he is with Sam, he's been a bit of a handful but Nila is keeping him on the straight and narrow for now.  More blogging tomorrow as the garden is beginning to take shape.
