Who says animals are dumb creatures? My hens are far too intelligent for my liking! Even after we cut there wings they still are escaping….. How I do not know yet but I’ve investigated any possible holes in the fences but alas, there are none. The remaining possibility is the flower bed that has a wall around it. The height takes the chicken around half way up the fence and I see they like to sit and perch on this wall. I now think they are using the wall as a spring board seeing that they can’t fly over. How else are they getting out? It is truly a mystery. Today I didn’t let them into the area where the wall is, so let’s see it that solves this mystery.

Lady and Carla are becoming so used to us now and on the odd occasion they allow us to stroke them. They are such beautiful creatures and have some real attitude too.

It was so cold last night that when I stuck my nose out of the blankets it felt like it was so frozen it would fall off. The cold weather is making its appearance slowly. Even the animals appreciate being left inside a bit longer.
