After the devestation of the other day when Mr Fox had away with our old ladies I spent the day creating a mini fort knox.

After having chooks around the place seemed so empty without them  

So the hunt began in earnest and we have just picked up 4 warrens 12 weeks old and are collecting another 3 exbatts this afternoon

They can all be introduced to their new coop at the same time but already its great having some chooks back again!

I think im turning into a right softie

Brilliant - I agree - once you've lived with them - I can't imagine living without them even though they pooh all over my garden, make dustbaths in the borders and generally trash the place  thank goodness they haven't discovered the way into the house YET

You weren't the only one to have a fox attack. One of our friend just got their chooks about month ago. She had a daughter who really got attatched. And when they got back from shopping the'd found Mr Fox had paid a visit 8 chooks to 1 chook in a matter of a few minutes. I feel so sorry for the last chook left grats anywho despite the bad news too

Hold off on the black hoods

Here you go!









And before anyone says that that hutch is tooo small for 8 birds its just for some fun to explore

I have a hutch like that in one of my pens, and my Poland Honey always used to lay her egg in there, in preference to the nestbox in her coop.  think she liked the privacy, no communal changing rooms for Honey!
