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.

From The 'Ladies' settling in!

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.

We have added is some new additions to our chicken family. Our friends Reg and Eve ask us if we wanted to adopt their 2 chickens. Peggy and Sue are 2 black chickens that they have had for 2 years and they needed to find them a good new home for them. So on the 9 January 2011, we took in these lovely ladies.

Peggy and Sue are a crossbreed of Rhode Island Red and Black Rock breed of chickens.

Peggy & Sue have settled in well, but they soon established their place at the top of the new pecking order with Mavis, Ethel and Getrude at the bottom.

They have made this Audition video to try and win themselves tickets to Capital Radio’s ‘Jingle Bell Ball’.

Today we had a little visitor waiting on our steps when the girls got home from school.

The visitor was a hungry baby squirrel. Amy helpfully feed the baby Squirrel, which she named ‘Charlie‘ as they didn’t know if it was a boy or girl! with dry roasted peanuts.

After housing the very tame little hungry squirrel in a shoe box and woolly golf hat, ‘Charlie‘ was taken to a animal rescue center, because there was no adult squirrels on hand, to give the baby back too!!!

‘Charlie‘ is now happy re homed in a rescue centre with other squirrels, a parrot, hedgehogs, 10 dog and cats etc….
