Today we're been slightly sad as a less than fantastic Mr Fox has been having fun with our faithful chickens. We've been incredibly lucky that our farm has been fox free for years, but someone has now discovered our free range flock and in the last two days eight of our girls have gone.
These girls are the most prolific layers we've ever had and have laid six eggs a week each all through the winter so we're really sad that some foxy fiend has been on the attack. On that note am heading now down to the field to check on the girls.
Only a short few weeks until the Featherdown season starts again so now as well as all the other prep we also have to get some new chickens - one of the things that our smaller campers love is collecting fresh eggs so we mustn't let them down!
