Yes, have to be positive ..... I have booked a young helper for this week. 

Will definitely take photos, really looking forward to it. Actually much cheaper to buy some eggs!!

Sorry to hear this, those mink have a lot to answer for! I was wondering if anyone on here has any weld mesh the right size laying in their garden unused, which you could use? We have some but its holes will be too large.    Looking forward to following this thread and maybe seeing pics.

Happy new project & Happy new flock! Disasters llke that are a real setback - I admire your positive attitude.
I do know what you mean about the relief it was the end of the old year not the start of the new.

Oh Thrift what an awful end to the year. 
Hope your plans for the new year go well and that you can get some company for your lone hen soon.
