Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

not great so far. The parrotia persica and holm oak have also had quite a bruising morning. There's little left of the choisya. And the lawn round there is an almighty mess.

Yes trees like water lines and septic.
Might want to plant elsewhere if possible.

 

[Perris]

well there's quite a hole in the border to fill.

apparently someone will be along with topsoil and grass seed sometime...

 

[Perris]

and they haven't fixed it ffs! It's bubbling up again, now above the bottom part of their 'repair' !

That must be so annoying. The damage is bad enough without giving them two goes at it. I feel for you really. I know you love your garden and rightly so.

Two hours. A little bit of drizzle this evening. Feeling quite cold in the NNE wind.
Henry came to the run gate with the hens this evening. He spent about an hour and a half out on the field before going to roost. They all got scrabbled egg, Hnery getting the lions share for a change.

I managed to upset Mow by doing her legs and she headed straight for the nest box at roost time.

When will the lawn abusers be coming again @Perris?

I feel that Shad needs this Banksy t-shirt :

For me it doesn’t feel right to give the eggs back to the chickens. So I need to make my neighbours and family happy with homemade eggs. 4 bantams eggs /day is much more than we usually eat.

How's Henry doing Shad? Glad he has an appetite at least.

No change really MJ. Some days he's slightly better than others. He's eating, although not enough, drinking and going out on to the field where he is at least active.

the inspector is due this morning. Who knows how long we'll have to wait for a competent repair
