Strange chicken behaviour leads to a surprising discovery…

April 8, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 2 Comments

The say you should never work with children or animal but, as the name of my blog kind of gives it away, I work (and live) with both on a daily basis. Both Boo and the animals do funny things on a daily basis. Like Clover the rabbit who mysteriously escaped from the hutch without … [Read more…]

Egg-gate

March 7, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 10 Comments

So two weeks on from our delivery of ex-commercial hens, we’re suffering a bit of an egg-gate situation.

An open letter to Mr Fox and all your associates

January 25, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Dear Mr Fox,   You have visited us too many times over the past few years. We have spent hundreds of pounds on birds that have either ended up in your horrible stomach or left dead in the coop and the field. I have cried many, many tears over the carnage you have left and … [Read more…]
