We had a great evening with some old friends from our Hither Green Days.
Here the rest of the picture from the evening.
We had a great family day out at Sissinghurst Castle on Bank Holiday Monday.
The Jeremy’s along with many other friends had a great day at Becki & Phil’s Wedding. We had a great day, with lots of food and fantastic weather.
After losing Ethel and Peggy, we have extended our farm. We now have 2 young pullets.
Meet Flossie who is Warren breed, which is a cross between a Rhode Island Red and Longhorn breeds, she is my wife Sue’s replacement for her favourite chicken, Ethel who died a couple of weeks ago! She approximately 16 weeks only but not yet laying.

Sadly we had to say good bye to 2 of out Chicken this week!
Ethel the brave, who was Sue’s little favourite. Ethel was an ex-battery hen who came to us nearly featherless in May 2010.

Ethel died after having a great year of free range freedom at her new home; her feathers grew back to look like any other chicken!

Peggy was one of the latest adopted chickens, she had a full life of free range freedom and enjoyed the last months in her new adopted home.
They both had to be put down by the vet due to them being very ill.
